[Stoves] Realizing the potential of sustainable wood fuel value chains

[Cookswell Jikos]

''Despite its importance, wood fuel is largely overlooked in the
continent’s energy agenda. While alternative energy forms, including other
biomass energy sources, hydro-power and solar are currently being
developed, there are no significant investments to improve wood fuel supply
chains.

Wood fuel derives from a variety of tree sources and represents over half
of all wood exploitation in African countries. Although most countries have
legislative and permit systems to regulate commercial wood fuel
exploitation under forest laws, they are often not implemented. This means
that wood fuel production and trade remain informal activities prone to
illegality, bribery and unsustainable practices.''
