1. Fuelwood data from the Joint Forest Sector Questionnaire
Working Group meeting of January 2014
Marilise Wolf-Crowther, Environmental statistics & accounts; Sustainable development

2. Roundwood production
The two main categories of annual roundwood production are
Industrial roundwood: sawlogs, veneer logs, pulpwood and other industrial roundwood
Fuelwood or "wood fuel": logs, chips and particles, but NOT wood pellets

3. Fuelwood Fuelwood data are very much underestimated in most countries
Some countries run household surveys and estimate much higher numbers now than in the past, e.g. France, revised the whole time series
Other countries have similar percentages of fuelwood to roundwood as in France and this seems plausible
Eurostat financed household surveys and other studies in 2009 and 2010, but the JFSQ data have not improved

9. Conclusions Very low numbers overall
Experts think the estimates should be at least 25% higher in Germany
This could also be the case in other countries, since fuelwood consumption has probably increased everywhere due to the high energy prices
