Wood is a substantial renewable resource that can be used as a fuel to generate electric power and useful thermal output. Wood for use as fuel comes from a wide variety of sources. The Nation’s forestland (or timberland) is the primary, and in most cases original, resource base for fuelwood. Wood for fuel use is also derived from private land clearing and silvi-culture and from urban tree and landscape residues. A third major wood resource is waste wood, which includes manufacturing and wood processing wastes, as well as construction and demolition debris.
