Abstract: Renewable energy sources are called to play an important role as regards the increasing energy demand worldwide. In particular, the need to address the problems created by the oil crises has distinguished the importance of renewable energy in economic development. Biomass is recognized as one of the most important renewable energy sources that can contribute decisively to the energy needs of modern society and the environment protection, in both industrialized and developing countries. A very important source of biomass is wood and especially fuelwood. In Greece, because of the economic crisis, there is an increased consumption of fuelwood, especially in rural areas.
