The comprehensive assessment of timber and fuelwood harvesting operations through the consideration of the three pillars of sustainability: Economic, social, and environmental has not received much attention. The use...

We assessed the net impacts of a wood-dependent pellet industry of global importance on contemporaneous local forest carbon component pools (live trees, standing-dead trees, soils)...

To combat climate change, reducing carbon emissions from coal consumption in the power sector can be an effective strategy. We developed a price-exogenous mixed integer linear...

Wood resource balance (WRB) sheets are most useful in providing an overview of sources and uses of woody biomass, highlighting data gaps and inconsistencies. This technical report...

Data on consumption, production, transformation and supply of fuelwood for energy purposes. Data expressed in thousand of cubic metres. Consumption data are broken down by sector (e.g...

Forests provide a series of ecosystem services that are crucial to our society. In the European Union (EU), forests account for approximately 38% of the total land surface. These...

The purpose of this study was to analyse how carbon dynamics and climate impacts were influenced by the transition from coal or natural gas to forest biomass on a number of district heat...

Science for Policy Brief Key messages A new study (Ceccherini et al., 2020) reported a recent and abrupt increase in the forest area and biomass harvested in the EU...

This Research Directory by Future Forests + Jobs is a repository of academic research, papers and studies that document the contributions wood bioenergy is making to the energy sector. The collection will...

Biomass from short‐rotation coppice (SRC) of woody perennials is being increasingly used as a bioenergy source to replace fossil fuels, but accurate assessments of the long‐term greenhouse gas (GHG)...
