Wood Energy: Financing Local Projects that Make the Most of Local Resources

Today, 45% of our energy consumption is used for heat: heating, hot water and steam for industrial uses. Yet the energy debate remains focused on electricity, which accounts for only 24% of the total. Wood energy can play a key role in decarbonizing heat production, if funding is provided on a regional level to strengthen local networks, which are the only ones to make possible long-term renewable use of the biomass.
