5. EUROFORENET Conference - WISDOM - M. Trossero and R. Drigo, FAO. Bsls 20/11/07 New Challenges Enhance the role of wood energy for SFM. Strengthen, expand, diversify forestry roles. Promote woodfuel as industrial energy option Support private sector initiatives & needs Reduce poverty

6. EUROFORENET Conference - WISDOM - M. Trossero and R. Drigo, FAO. Bsls 20/11/07 Forestry Services Limitations Contributions of wood energy are poorly understood Unbalanced allocation of priorities btw timber & WE Technical responsibilities are fragmented Technical capabilities are insufficiently prepared Weak relations btw forestry & energy organizations R&D funds are insufficient

9. EUROFORENET Conference - WISDOM - M. Trossero and R. Drigo, FAO. Bsls 20/11/07 key features of wood energy systems inter-sectoral (forestry, energy, agriculture and rural development) interdisciplinary (silviculture and forest management, agronomy, physics, chemistry, engineering, etc.) location-specific heterogeneous supply sources (forests, forest industries, SRF, farmlands, orchards, tree crops, recovered wood, etc.) WISDOM - Rationale

10. EUROFORENET Conference - WISDOM - M. Trossero and R. Drigo, FAO. Bsls 20/11/07 Current state of knowledge Historic lack of recognition in forestry and energy Official statistics incomplete and often misleading WISDOM - Rationale Detailed studies exist but the broad picture is still missing.... hence, a fragmented perception (WISDOM)

11. EUROFORENET Conference - WISDOM - M. Trossero and R. Drigo, FAO. Bsls 20/11/07 General objective: Provide a comprehensive vision of current woodfuel flows and sustainable potential for bioenergy development, based on integration/cross-referencing of existing data Strengthen wood energy planning and policy formulation Promote sustainable wood energy systems WISDOM objectives

12. EUROFORENET Conference - WISDOM - M. Trossero and R. Drigo, FAO. Bsls 20/11/07 Specific objectives : Outline woodfuel surplus and deficit areas Objectively define priority areas of intervention Identify sites with high bioenergy potentials Outline sustainable supply zones of selected locations Contribute to the creation of Wood Energy Information System (WEIS) WISDOM objectives

Selection of spatial base  Pixel level  Sub-national level Geodatabase Geodatabase 1 - … - … - … - 2 - … - … - … - 3 - … - … - … - … n - … - … - … -  woodfuel consumption by type, area, user...  urban / rural saturation  local surveys  consumption projections 6. Commercial supply potential 7. Biodistrict delineation  land use/land cover  woody biomass by LC class  productivity  physical, legal accessibility  land cover changes  future supply scenarios  supply / demand balance  deficit / surplus areas  ownership pattern/fragmentation  future scenarios By pixel By units 5. Priority areas4. INTEGRATION module  productive forest formations  areas suitable for commercial wf production  commercial production potential  resource accessibility around selected sites  supply/demand analysis  mapping of supply zones Biodistrict definition WISDOM baseline

17. EUROFORENET Conference - WISDOM - M. Trossero and R. Drigo, FAO. Bsls 20/11/07 Indexing approach Example: Supply/demand balance index Property fragmentation index Thinning stage index Aggregated index = Thinning Priority Index (TPI): where, FPIj = woodfuel priority index for each KO “j” Ii = index for each of the 3 variables used in the analysis, ranging from 1 to 5 pj = weights, set to 1 in this case Slovenia WISDOM - priority zoning Property fragmentation Thinning forests

18. EUROFORENET Conference - WISDOM - M. Trossero and R. Drigo, FAO. Bsls 20/11/07 Slovenia WISDOM - priority zoning
