However, several challenges like low productivity of felling operations and technical accessibility of forests have to be solved to intensify
energy wood supply in the regions.
Maximization of sustainable
energy wood supply will create new working places and business opportunities.

McDonald's Canada rolled out the new
supplies to the entire nation, reducing its
energy,
wood and water consumption, resulting in an annual approximate savings of $ 1.3 million for the whole McDonald's Canada system, which means savings for the customers.
At the same time, the 1.3 billion people without access to electricity and the 3 billion or so who still rely on burning
wood or dung to fuel cooking or heating would need modern
energy supplies, although this might prove to have minimal impacts on climate change through saving forests and other side effects.
Moreover, since used
wood is already in short
supply today, it seems only sensible to fully exploit any remaining usable potential and, as a contribution to the
energy revolution, enable the generation of higher value added in Switzerland by making use of used
wood.
It was a devilish story to report out, because it took a long time to cut through confusing static that had built up around the science of biomass
energy, and because the
wood pellet
supply chain traverses two continents.
Our clients benefit from a network of expert partners, including the Mann Naturenergie Group, a leading German
supplier of
wood energy solutions, who has deployed over 70 MW of
wood - fired heating capacity.
While a relatively small fraction of our overall
energy supply in 2008, the United States is the world's largest consumer of renewable
energy from geothermal, solar,
wood, wind, and waste for electric power generation using some 26 % of the world's total.
Mabee and Saddler (2007) reviewed a number of regional and global outlook studies on forest fibre availability to determine the renewable global
supply of forest biomass for
wood energy production.
Bioenergy, including
energy derived from
wood and other plant materials, accounts for a significant proportion of the current
energy supply from renewable sources.
Supply and demand of traditional biomass, liquid cellulosic biofuels, residues from the forest industry and other forms of
wood energy will be affected differently by different factors across developed and developing countries.
