Descripción
Biomass fuels play an important role in the energy balance of Pakistan. They meet over 45% of the energy demand, of which the share of woodfuel alone is about 25%. Information on the supply side of woodfuels is quite striking. As much as 90% of the woodfuels is being supplied from non-forest land of different types which are under private, community or government ownership and/or management. The present publication on Woodfuel Production and Marketing in Pakistan reports on the national wor kshop in Punjab which was coordinated by RWEDP. Two institutions, the Punjab Forestry Research Institute (PFRI) and the Marketing Division (MD), University of Agriculture (UA), have collaborated in hosting the national workshop in Faisalabad, in October 1997. Important issues related to woodfuel production and marketing were discussed by the experts from agencies of the government and selected NGO's. The workshop has recommended a number of actions which will further strengthen the wood energy s ector.
