EFORWOOD Eforwood Conference 2007 Gero Becker Franka Brüchert The structure of regional forestry - wood chains – CASE STUDY Baden-Württemberg and its contribution to EFORWOOD Gero Becker & Franka Brüchert Freiburg University / Forest Research Institute Baden-Württemberg

EFORWOOD Eforwood Conference 2007 Gero Becker Franka Brüchert ROLE OF CASE STUDIES WITHIN EFORWOOD  to identify and describe existing forestry-wood chains and interactions in detail completely from production to consumption (coverage 60-80%)  link between single chain and the European dimension  provide realistic data for the sustainability impact assessment in ToSIA 3 types of case studies: forestry defined – Västerbottom (SWEDEN) consumption defined – IBERIAN penisula region defined – Baden-Württemberg (GERMANY)

EFORWOOD Eforwood Conference 2007 Gero Becker Franka Brüchert Why Baden-Württemberg? Baden-Württemberg represents the typical structure and variety of Central-European forestry-wood chains some figures: area: 3,5752 Mio ha – 40% forest coverage population: 10.7 Mio inhabitants (300 people/km²) urban population: 65% rural poulation: 35% annual turnover of forest/wood based industry: 23 bio € ( in 2005 ) share in GDP-Ba-Wü: 7% borders to France and Switzerland

EFORWOOD Eforwood Conference 2007 Gero Becker Franka Brüchert is characterised by: a diverse structure of sawmilling industry in size and degree of specialisation a large number of small and medium sized enterprises in sawmilling, carpentry and joinery a pulp and paper industry strongly embedded in international forest products and paper companies increasing capacities in wood energy and pellet production WOOD BASED INDUSTRY in Baden-Württemberg
