Within forestry the stimulation of the market for woodfuel and firewood would help to secure jobs in the rural economy, and ensure sustainable woodland management with its benefits for landscape and biodiversity. The stimulation of the market for these products could be helped by setting a % requirement for renewable energy in new building and help to refurbish existing buildings, particularly with woodfuel boilers.
