- FAO estimates that biomass energy production was 583 M tons oil
equivalent (MTOE) in 1970; 792 MTOE in 2005; and 1,183 MTOE in 2030
- In terms of wood consumption, these figures translate to 2 Bm3
in 1970; 2.6 Bm3 in 2005 and 3.8 Bm3 in
2030

- Europe is expected to increase its energy production from biomass
between 2005-20; the most of any region
- Large scale biorefinery usage (biofuels) will significantly increase
worldwide wood consumption
