Farmers, Forests and Fuel - Towards a new biomass energy strategy for Sri Lanka (Paperback)

Intended for development planners and administrators, energy planners, environmentalists, foresters and conservationists, this book provides a survey of the current, and likely future extent of, biomass energy shortages in Sri Lanka and seeks to identify the most appropriate means by which these might be addressed. Biomass accounts for roughly two-thirds of Sri Lanka's primary energy consumption, and long-term supply capability is being undermined by a fast and accelerating rate of deforestation. The book draws out the lessons to be learned in other parts of the world from Sri Lanka's experience.
