Suggested areas where further work could usefully focus include:
• Undertake studies aimed at quantifying and value wood energy markets
• Carry out studies to gain better understanding of the global energy balance/contribution of wood energy systems
• Improve quality of wood biomass data
• Undertake studies to assess the use of woodfuels in the cottage industry, and other large scale industrial/commercial uses
• Undertake studies to assess the social, economic ad environmental implications of traditional uses of woodfuels
• Undertake review analysis of wood energy systems aimed at policy and energy planners to provide meaningful information
• Carry out studies to identify gaps in capacity building in wood energy systems
