=== Fuel Wood ===
=== Fuel Wood ===
Part of the global energy demand is met by fuel wood, depending on the world region. Some of the fuel wood is harvested through formal forestry activities and can be coupled to the management systems described above. In addition,  fuel wood is produced and collected from non-forest areas; for example, from thinning orchards and along roadsides (FAO, 2001; FAO, 2008). Reliable data on fuel wood production are scarce; therefore, assumptions have been made in IMAGE3.0. For the developed regions, it is assumed that fuel wood is produced on a large scale and, therefore, in IMAGE, all fuel wood demand is added to timber demand. In the transitional regions as well as in the developing regions, smaller fractions of the fuel wood demand are assumed to be met from forestry operations: 50% and 32%.
