Resumen
Descripción
Analysis of various sources of energy data shows that biomass energy is at present an important source of energy with biomass energy being after oil, coal and natural gas the most important fuel on a worldwide basis. At the same time it is also clear that traditional use of biomass energy is still far higher than that used for modern applications. Although the share of modern biomass energy viz-a-viz traditional biomass energy use will rise in the future, there is at the same time also no doubt that the latter will continue to be important for the near future. This paper was presented during RWEDP's International Consultation on Wood Energy, Health and Climate, which was held on 7-9 October, 1999 in Thailand.
