Abstract

Because of New England's dependence on petroleum products for energy (89 percent of total energy consumed in 1976 including natural gas), its energy costs are nearly 30 percent higher than the national average. Forest land, covering almost 80 percent of New England, contains a huge volume of fuelwood that could potentially provide the equivalent of 55 million barrels of oil a year. This report reviews a number of fuelwood feasibility studies, fuelwood 's role in the national and regional energy picture, wood availability and demand, energy alternatives, and environmental impact.
