Abstract
In the European Union, it is estimated that 50% of the primary energy supplied by different renewable energy sectors comes from wood (EurObserver 2003). The wood energy sector is based on sustainable use of European forests and to a certain extent recovered wood, forest industrial byproducts (e.g. bark and sawdust) and wood from plantations: energy from agriculture, i.e. agricultural residues, e.g. straw, also contributes to the EU energy supply (European Commission 1997).
