Wood Energy Data
Woodfuels come from many different sources, both forest and non-forest land, like agricultural fields, homegardens and roadside trees. Below, estimates for sources are given for several countries. They show that non-forest lands are the main sources for most countries, although it should be noted the data don't show sub-national variations.
