Resumen
Descripción
To address woodfuel issues and develop
policies that incorporate woodfuels in a modern, sustainable
energy mix, policy-makers therefore need nuanced,
landscape-specific assessments of the contribution of
woodfuels to deforestation and forest degradation, the
structure and dynamics of commercial woodfuel value chains,
and a better understanding of the current and future role of
woodfuels in energy supplies. This study provides an
overview of the commercial woodfuels sector in Myanmar for
policymakers and stakeholders to address these issues. It
consists of three parts: (a) an assessment of woodfuel
demand in Myanmar, estimating consumption by households,
commercial catering, and industries. This was based on
primary data collected through field visits and phone
survey, as well as compilation and re-analysis of previous
work; (b) in-depth investigation of selected woodfuel value
chains representing the diversity of the sector, to assess
supply-demand dynamics and identify hotspots of pressure on
forest resources. This was based on field assessment of
prominent value chains and computer modeling of supply and
demand; and (c) drawing on these analyses, the study offers
strategies and policy options to support the development of
a sustainable woodfuels sector in Myanmar.
