• Wood have been used as the most important energy resources in heating and cooking.   

• Although the use of wood has mainly changed and wood has gained very importance as raw material for construction, paper production, chemical substance, the half of wood production in the world, is  still used  for cooking and heating.

• The main reason of environmental pollution and climate change is fossil fuels.

• The world is looking for alternative renewable   energy resources that cause less pollution to  the environment.

• The prices of petroleum and natural  gas are   getting  higher     

• Fossil energy sources are about to run out.

Why Renewable Energy ?

• At  the  Fifth  Ministerial  Conference  on  the Protection  of  Forest  in  Europe,  held  in Warsaw 2007, resolution  1  (W1)  was declarated: Forest, Wood and Energy.

• Forests  biomass,  wood  processing  residues and  recovered  wood represent  important sources of  renewable energy and  can  reduce greenhouse gass emissions by replacing  fossil fuels.

• The members of International Energy Agency (IEA) have started major projects to meet their 25‐50 % energy demand for biomass by 2050s.

• For this purpose US 100, Canada 40 and EU member states 20 million hectares of land areas have allocated for energy forests and energy agriculture. 

• According to the IEA reports, minimum 4%, maximum 12%  the demand of energy could be meet by renewable energy resources.

• Today in the world the most important energy resources are fossil originated resources such as petroleum, natural gas and coal.

• Turkey  is poor  in  terms of  those  resources and depends on abroad. 

• 78 % of the energy is met by the imports. For this, annualy an average of 50 billion $ is spent.

• The available biomass amount in Turkey is around 117 million tons. In case of its assesment  it will be met approximately annual 32 Mtoep.

• It is estimated that total available bioenergy potential is about 17.2 million ton‐equal petroleum.

Conclusion

There are 5-7 million tonn wood residues that we can not evaluate in our forests.

These residues have a potantial which makes a forest fire bigger and hotter. (We got a bad experience last year. )

We aim at;• Using the wood residues power generation in local settlements and forest villages. (We cooperate TUBİTAK Projects with METU)•Using wood residues instead of coal.
