GLOBAL Renewable Energy Resources: Bio Energy

Worldwide Fuelwood Production
The maps show the fuelwood production in the different countries. The values are expressed in (metric) tonnes per capita. The energy equivalent of one tonne of wood is roughly 3.8 MWh.

The values are based on the Survey of Energy Resources 2004, published by the World Energy Council WEC (forest area: Survey 2001). They have been used with permission of the editor Elsevier, Oxford.

Worldwide Sugarcane Baggasse Availability

The maps show the availability of sugar cane bagasse in the different countries. The values are expressed in (metric) tonnes per capita.
The energy equivalent of one tonne of bagasse is roughly 2.5 MWh. The energy potential reaches an interesting level in the sugar producing countries.

The values are based on the Survey of Energy Resources 2004, published by the World Energy Council WEC. They have been used with permission of the editor Elsevier, Oxford.
