Deforestation trends in the Congo Basin : wood-based biomass energy : Dynamiques de deforestation dans le bassin du Congo : energie issue de la biomasse (French)

Congo Basin countries rely more on wood-based biomass to meet their energy needs than most other countries in the world. Wood fuel production is increasing in Congo Basin countries. Urbanization often produces a shift from fuel wood to charcoal consumption, because charcoal is cheaper and easier to transport and store.
