'Although wood energy use has entered a modern and rapid growth, it has some obvious advantages in the renewable energy resource mix, but it is still a sleepy giant that is neglected by the world.' UNECE/FAO Forestry and Timber Sector in Finland In a new study carried out with the support of the government, the experts came to this conclusion.
A modern wood fuel, due to their high efficiency of combustion, convenience, and the fact that they have a higher energy density than conventional firewood, the UN’s Economic Commission for Europe region’s “methods of wood for power generation and power generation” are changing. UNECE The conference/FAO Forestry and Timber Union stressed.
When asked about how humanity achieves the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG-7), 'Ensure that all people will be able to provide affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy by 2030', renewable energy sources include: Solar photovoltaics, Wind power Turbines, geothermal power plants, heat pumps, tidal power plants or other power technology solutions. However, the world's renewable energy giant - wood energy is neglected or seen as non-modern.
A recent study entitled "Wood Energy in the ECE Region: Data from Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States and North America, Trends and Outlook" prepared by the UNECE/FAO Joint Forestry and Timber Section with the support of the Government of Finland The report, the panel emphasized: Wood energy has been modernized and developed rapidly.
The investment and employment of the forest industry, especially the mechanical wood processing industry such as the Swedish sawmill, are mainly in rural areas. 
Wood pellet production through the use of residues created Extra work and value.
The production and distribution of wood pellets supports the employment of the UNECE regional forest industry, usually in rural areas where employment is needed. This development also provides market options for low-value residual wood products such as sawdust, post-consumer wood And wood residues from harvesting sites, these woods are often considered to be of no value, so are left in the forest or harvested in the forest.
The study reveals the current state of wood energy, the type of wood fuel used, the main sources and users, the public policy tools that support and hinder its use, and how sustainable timber can be purchased. In addition, it provides information on the current social, economic, and Political trends and developments shape the outlook for wood for energy and its sustainable production.
Oak waste from a wood processing plant in southern Thailand is destined to become a source of local energy production or wood pellet production. In many developing countries, wood energy provides most of the energy supply. Surprisingly, in some developed countries, wood energy provides nearly 25% of energy supply. Wood energy is still Europe's leading renewable energy source, accounting for about 45% of renewable primary energy.
Policies and measures to increase the share of renewable energy and reduce carbon emissions have played a powerful role in increasing the use of wood energy, and with the rapid rise in oil prices at the beginning of this century, the use of wood energy has become more widespread, especially in Europe.
In the renewable energy portfolio, wood energy has some obvious advantages. It does not have the same limitations as other renewable energy sources because it is easy to store and it can even in the absence of sunlight, wind or hydropower potential. Continue to provide energy.
The study also pointed out that if used improperly, the use of wood as energy may have a negative impact. If inefficient use, wood energy may become an important source of indoor and outdoor pollution. If sustainable practices are not followed, wood fuel may be collected. It will degrade the forest.
The BioLite II camping stove is arguably the world's smallest portable biomass fuel cogeneration (CHP) plant. Nevertheless, if best practice strategies are applied to procurement, processing, and combustion efficiency, wood energy can be a very clean and sustainable fuel. The use of improved stoves and fuels can reduce particulate emissions from more than 95% of traditional open fireplaces.
