In Africa, Asia and South-America non-commercial roundwood,
logging residues and plantations cover majority of energy wood
supply (Fig. 6). The highest share of plantations is in Asia, because
the suitable area for plantations is highest there (Table 3). The
highest share of non-commercial roundwood is in Africa, because
the share of non-commercial roundwood is highest there (Table 2).
Because forest industry by-products form only a small part of
energy wood supply in these regions, the by-product effect is
small and higher energy wood prices crowd out woody biomass
use for fuelwood and material products.
