Woodfuel Production and Marketing in India - National Workshop
RWEDP Report No.47, 2000
Among the old concepts related with wood energy that time and time again turn up are that something is wrong with wood energy, that woodfuel is becoming increasingly scarce, and that wood energy threatens our soils and forests.
The National Workshop at the National Botanical Research Institute (NBRI), Lucknow, made serious attempts to put these issues and others into perspective and to draw sensible conclusions from the information at hand. The discussions of the workshop participants led to a number of valuable recommendations for those concerned with woodfuel production and marketing in India. This report on Woodfuel Production and Marketing may be of use to all professionals interested in wood energy development in India.
