Abstract: This paper analyzes implications of open access forestry for traditional energy programs in LDC’s. The role of improved woodstoves, charcoal kilns, forest-access and biogas programs is examined. A key finding is that, with sufficient elasticity in fuelwood demands, traditional energy programs may reduce long-run fuelwood supply stocks.
