Wastewood as a source of woodfuel

Author

Abstract

Land clearing and forest sector residues, notably the wastewood generated on large timber plantations, can provide a sizeable and hitherto neglected source of woodfuel. This article highlights experience in Malawi where wastewood from pine plantations is converted into charcoal that is sold to residential, industrial and agro‐industrial users. Similar initiatives proposed in other countries of sub‐Saharan Africa indicate that comprehensive utilization of wastewood resources could help to reduce regional and local imbalances.
