Charcoal production and use: world country statistics and
global trendsAdrián Ghilardi (National University of Mexico)
& Florian Steierer (Head of FAO wood energy)
Symposium:The role of charcoal in climate change and poverty alleviation initiatives.
15th June 2011Arusha, Tanzania
2
Structure of presentation1. The importance of a trustworthy worldwide
database on charcoal production and use.
2. Available global and country-based figures from FAO.
3. Examples of some flaws and gaps in FAO wood energy data.
4. The way ahead.
• Wrong data leads to misleading actions (i.e. essential ingredient for policy making)
• Challenge:– Disperse nature of traditional woodfuels in general
(i.e. difficulties in primary data gathering)– Methodologies
• How much vs. where (where is it used and where the wood comes from)

The A way aheadFAO wood energy is taking the lead in:
Raising awareness of the importance of Collecting, Improving and Sharing accurate data on wood energy
Formulating, implementing and monitoring of sound wood energy policies
Facilitating cross-sectoral communication and collaboration
Applying sustainable and resource efficient production and consumption
