Wood is such a versatile product. Aside from uses in building and furniture, it is suitable for producing energy through combustion of woodchip, pellets and logs. Emerging technologies such as torrefaction and gasification allow wood to be transformed into more energy-intensive forms.Technologies have also been developed so wood fuels can be used easily and efficiently. These include stoves and boilers for water heating in the domestic sector. Larger boilers for water heating and steam generation are available in the commercial and industrial sectors along with combined heat and power (CHP) units.
