(chiefly col.) ;c25 cm.1 aFAO forestry paper,  a"IEA Bioenergy."--Cover.  aWith growing pressure on energy resources and a heavy dependence on non-renewable fossil fuels, the world faces two key energy-related problems: the lack of a secure and affordable supply, and the threat of overconsumption leading to irreversible environmental damage.  As part of the solution to these problems, many countries are looking increasingly to their biomass-energy resources.  This publication focuses on one major source of biomass energy -- woodfuels.  It sets out principles, criteria and indicators to guide the sustainable use of woodfuel resources and the sustainable production of charcoal.  It is designed to help policy- and decision-makers in forestry, energy and environment agencies, non-governmental and other civil-society organizations and the private sector ensure that the woodfuel sector reaches its full potential as an agent of sustainable development."--back cover 0aFuelwood crops 0aEnergy policy. 0aSustainable forestry. 0aPower resources. 0aBiomass energy 0aRenewable energy sources2 aFood and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.2 aIEA Bioenergy Programme.41uhttp://www.fao.org/docrep/012/i1673e/i1673e00.pdf
