Why do we work on wood energy?
UNECE/FAO Forestry and Timber Section, our four “Work Areas”:
WA1: Data, monitoring and assessmentWA2: Policy dialogue and adviceWA3: Communication and outreachWA4: Capacity‐building
… this is all about forests, where is the part on wood energy?

Why do we work on wood energy?
Wood fuel ‐ Is an important forest product‐ Is the most important single source of renewable energy‐ Creates jobs in rural areas with short supply chains‐ Facilitates development of small and medium size enterprises‐ Is carbon neutral, is burnt in modern stoves‐ Is cross‐sectoral
partial information available but scatteredinformal market structures
Why do we work on wood energy?
Good data are key for fact based decisions
They replicate reality to the extend possible and need to be: ‐ Compatible (JFSQ/RENQUES)‐ Recent (1‐2 years intervals)‐ Inclusive (production, consumption and trade)‐ Track new developments and technologies‐ Freely available and transparent
What do we do?
We developed the “Joint Wood Energy Enquiry” (JWEE), in close cooperation and communication with:
‐ International Energy Agency‐ Eurostat‐ Food and Agriculture Organisation
… and significant expert support from Statistics Austria
What is the JWEE in a nutshell?
Collect best available information on all sources and all uses of wood for energy:

What else do we do?
UNECE/FAO Forestry and Timber Section, our four “Work Areas”:
WA1: Data, monitoring and assessment JWEE (’05/’07/’09/‘11), FPAMR chapter 9 since 2007, JFSQ pellets since 2012
WA2: Policy dialogue and adviceEFSOS II (2011), workshops
WA3: Communication and outreachWebsite, press releases, presentations, InterEnerStat, Bioenergy tasks
WA4: Capacity‐buildingWorkshops (Minsk, Paris, etc.)
What could be the role your ToS ?
‐ Improve networking on wood energy ‐ Guidance on interests of member states and stakeholders‐ Support to next round(s) of the JWEE (update/assessment)‐ Help harmonizing NREAP reporting [m3/t] (conv. factors, data)‐ Help organizing the planned workshop on “less wood for more
heat” (wood energy + energy efficiency) – fall/winter 2014‐ Provide guidance/experts/authors for the planned Study Paper
on Wood Energy in the ECE region (2015)‐ …
