Global industrial
roundwood production was about 1.7 billion cubic metres in 2005, compared with fuelwood production of approximately 1.8 billion cubic metres (FAO, 2007c).
When residue recovery and postconsumer waste are factored in, however, wood use for energy exceeds industrial
roundwood production in several industrialized countries.
Under these circumstances, the availability of wood for bioenergy production is likely to be less controlled by energy markets than by trends in
roundwood production, extent of forest resources and demands that compete for wood residues.
In some industrialized countries, removals of wood from the forest for bioenergy applications already account for at least half of industrial
roundwood production (Steierer et al., 2007; FAO, 2007b).
