Biofuel is an inexpensive and renewable energy source that is extracted locally.
The collection, preparation and sale of wood for bioenergy allows waste from wood cutting and other low-value timber (that is no longer suitable for high-end roundwood production) to be used in a meaningful way. Felling residue in the form of tree stumps, branches and stems as well as shrubs and brush can also be used in bioenergy production.
The use of biomass as an energy source is increasing in Lithuania and around the world without increasing the scale of forest harvesting on account of the rational use of felling residue and through the cultivation and harvesting of short-cycle tree and shrub species for energy production.
