Forests and bioenergy prodution

The role of global forests as an energy source is increasing. The use of woody biomass for power, heat, and transport fuels can vitalize the forest sector and link it more closely with the energy sector regionally and globally. Particularly in the northern hemisphere the accumulating growing stock allows the more intensive use of forest biomass for biofuels. Forest-based energy production can reduce the use of fossil fuels and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The over-utilisation of forest ecosystems, however, can jeopardise the sustainable development of forests and societies depen-dent on forests. Therefore, forest energy policies have to be based on the principle of sustainable development, ensuring both economic and environmental longevity in the use of the resource. The forest research and development organizations are challenged to conduct multidisciplinary work that links high quality economic, ecological and social research with the operational practices of bioenergy production. This is essential to respond to rapidly increasing information needs regarding the role of forests in the global energy supply
