Abstract
Recognition of the limits to fossil fuel reserves and dramatic increases in the prices of many conventional fuel sources have promoted an interest in renewable energy resources. Biomass from forest plantations is recognized as one alternative with potential in many countries. This paper describes the general characteristics of forest energy plantations. The results of an extensive survey of forest energy development projects throughout the world are presented, therein providing an international perspective on the status of energy plantations. The potential contribution of forest energy projects in the developing nations is examined in greater detail.
