WOOD ENERGY BAROMETER
Wood is the renewable energy that can be
best substituted for fossil fuels, and, moreover, is the
leading renewable sector for primary energy production
in Europe. Its use in the form of energy contributes to
combating global warming since, unlike for fossil
energies, the combustion-emitted carbon dioxide is
reabsorbed by the forests. These environmental and
energetic advantages explain why the large European
Union wood countries are working on programs to develop
both the technologies and the means of expanding this
sector.
