Woody biomass energy potential depends not only on the
available woody biomass resources but also on the competition
between alternative uses of those resources and competition
between alternative sources of energy (Radetzki, 1997; Sedjo,
1997; Berndes et al., 2003). These effects can be separated by using
the concept of supply and demand curves. The energy wood supply
curve defines the amount of woody biomass available for large-scale
energy production at various hypothetical energy wood prices, that
is, it summarizes all the relevant information from the biomass
sector needed to model large-scale energy wood use. The energy
wood demand curve defines the desired amount of woody biomass
for large-scale energy production at various hypothetical energy
wood prices; in other words, it summarizes all the relevant
information from the energy sector needed to model large-scale
energy wood use. Note that the term “energy wood” refers to largescale woody biomass use for energy. Hence, energy wood does not
include small-scale woody biomass use for energy (household
fuelwood), which is modeled separately. Household fuelwood is
not directly connected to large-scale energy wood markets because
it often comes from different sources than large-scale energy wood
and because its utilization is based on technologies that are
incompatible with other forms of energy (May-Tobin, 2011).
