World roundwood utilization as fuel
• Over half used as fuel
– Domestic heating
– Cooking
• Mostly in developing
countries
• Low value
• Modern wood energy
– Small international trade
– Growing market
– Policy push in Europe

– Only Guatemala higher at 355 m3

•
1/3 forested, mostly on higher ground
Why? Centuries of big log forest management
Not only lumber and beams, also protection
But…1999 windstorms
– Took tall, old, large diameter
– 2 years’ harvest in 3 days in Switzerland
– 1 year’s in all of Europe in 3 days.

• Large logs cost more energy and time for
– Transportation and handling
– Conversion
• Reduced consumption of solid beams and wide
lumber
• Increased composite panels, edge-glued panels,
glulam and other EWPs
• European foresters changing “big log” mentality

Certification
• Introduced to combat deforestation in tropics
• Most certified forests are temperate & boreal
• Therefore, not an instrument to combat

management
• Mutual recognition between schemes an issue
• Potential additional roles
– Verification mechanism in Kyoto Protocol
– Indication of source, but not proof of legality
