1. FUEL WOOD SPECIES OF PAKISTAN

GC University, Lahore

2. INTRODUCTION
• Wood is humankind’s 1st source of energy
• More than Two Billion (2B) people depend upon
wood for fuel
• fuelwood accounts for 0.7–1.1 terawatts out of
global total energy 14.6 terawatts
• Coppicing shrubs, Loppning branches and Felling
whole trees are done for getting wood for fuel

3. USES OF FUEL WOOD
Cooking and heating houses are major uses
But commercially in;
Bakeries
Street foods
Brick making
Smoking foods
Curring Tobacco and Tea

4. ECONOMICS AND COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT
In developing countries people have busineses
likt to sell raw wood, pre prcocessed wood and
post processed residues of wood in order to raise
their economics
This habit ultimately serves as community
development

5. WHY WOOD AS FUEL
Human use woods as fuel because it is;
oAffordable sources of energy (Where the availability of
fossil fuel is scarce) are not present
oEasily available in rural areas
Woodfuels arise from multiple sources including;
oForests
oOther wooded land and trees outside forests
oCo-products from wood processing
oPost-consumer recovered wood and processed wood-
based fuels.

6. IMPORTANCE OF WOOD FUEL
Wood energy is also an important emergency
backup fuel, especially when;
• Encountering economic difficulties
• Natural disasters
• Fossil energy supply shortages

7. GLOBAL WOOD MARKETS
• Africa uses 40% energy from fuel wood
• Latin America uses 10% wood energy (WEC, 2001)
• Africa uses 90% fuel wood energy (FAO 2003a)
• 80% fuelwood energy in tropical regions
• 20% fuelwood energy in temperate regions (Roda,
2002)

8. FUEL WOOD STATISTICS OF PAKISTAN
Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) presents statistics about Pakistan
fuelwood energy as;
• Listed in Deficit catagory regarding fuelwood
• Rural households using fuelwood more than 90%
• In urban fuelwood shares around 38%
• At least 84% of the urban households buy fuelwood
• 61% of the Rural households collect fuelwood
• devoted less than 3% of its agriculture land to forests.
• 40% Households collect fuelwood from Private Lands
• 32% Collect from Own Lands
• Only 13% are collecting from State Forest Lands

10. WOOD USED AS FUEL IN PAKISTAN
• Fuel woods are collected before winter season
• Moraceae, Malvaceae, Myrtaceae, Caesalpinniaceae,
Solanaceae and Rosaceae other familie’s species are exploited
more as fuelwood
• More than 80 fuel wood species are availabe in published
sources from Pakistan
• Moraceae members are most commonly and frequently used
fuelwood
• Some Gymnosperms are also collected for fuelwood purpose

15. • Abies pindrow, Pinus roxbughii, Pinus wallichiana,
Acer cappadocicum and Alnus nitida are also most
commonly exploited as fuel wood species in hilly
areas as well
• Olea, Acacia, Dodonea, Melia and Quercus are
those which are frequently decreasing due to
continous cutting (Khan and Awan, 2000). Tamarix,
Cassia, Morus, Melia and Ficus are frequently
decreasing in the area.
