Wood Energy Planning, Policies and Strategies

National Workshop for the Philippines

RWEDP Report No.43, 1998

Understanding woodfuel flows, encompassing its supply, distribution and use, has major policy implications. Cebu City was the venue for a wood energy policy workshop organised by the University of San Carlos Affiliated Non-Conventional Energy Center. The participants represented a broad spectrum of delegates from the energy, forestry, agriculture and environment sectors, as well as politicians, scholars, and observers from neighbouring countries.

The workshop comprehensively covered wood energy planning, policies and strategies. The discussions lead to substantial recommendations for wood energy development which build on the increasing knowledge and understanding gained over the years. The present report gives an account of this workshop.
