Wood as a Fuel

Wood as a Fuel, written by Pieter D. Kofman and Eugene Hendrick describes all aspects of woodfuels from basic wood properties to standards, to woodfuel types, combustion and sustainable use. Woodfuel will have an important role to play over the coming decade and beyond in displacing fossil fuels for residential, commercial and industrial heating, thereby contributing to climate change mitigation policies. At the global level, woodfuel remains by far the largest source of renewable energy. Increasingly woodfuels are becoming more tightly specified, and new technologies to use wood for heating are constantly developing.
The book will be of interest to timber growers and woodland owners and managers, and all those interested in the sustainable and healthy use of woodfuels, especially as firewood is becoming more tightly specified for sale purposes, in order to provide better heating and to comply with air quality regulations in place from 2022.
Wood as a Fuel opens a new window into woodfuels, providing an essential and comprehensive reference for those engaged along the woodfuel chain, and for those using woodfuels.
