Wood Resource Balance (WRB) sheets of the European Union and each Member State for the years 2009 to 2017 can be downloaded from this page.
Information on the WRB structure and definitions, data sources and methods can be found in the related publication: Cazzaniga N.E., Jasinevičius G., Jonsson R., Mubareka S. (2021). Wood Resource Balances of European Union and Member States - Release 2021. EC Joint Research Centre, Publications Office of the European Union, Luxembourg, JRC126552.
The time series show a steady increase of woody biomass usage for both manufacturing and energy sectors in Europe. In addition, the resulting Wood Resource Balances always indicate a non-negligible difference in amount between the reported sources and declared uses of woody biomass, allowing analyses on gaps and inconsistencies.
