Description
About 20% of the population of Estonia has individual heating systems, mainly using domestic fuels such as wood and peat. This cheaper fuel is widely used in rural areas. The first studies of fuel consumption of households were made in Estonia in 1928 and 1934. At present there is a lack of reliable data. In 1995-1998 the authors carried out an investigation to analyze the situation nowadays. The data indicates that some wood used as fuel is not reflected in official statistics. This result means that the actual share of biofuels in the Estonian energy supply is bigger than that shown in official statistics. (author)
