Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, the coniferous wood fuel market in Nepal experienced a steady contraction, with annual production volume declining from 55 643 m³ to 53 013 m³. This downward trend aligned with sustained government prioritization of clean energy initiatives, such as those led by the Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC), which aimed to reduce national dependence on traditional biomass fuels like fuelwood.

The emergence and growth of the wood pellets market from 2020 onward provided a more thermally efficient alternative, directly substituting for conventional wood fuel in some applications. Concurrently, reinforced community forestry governance and sustainable forest management policies, including the National Forest Policy (2019), emphasized conservation and regulated resource use, contributing to a moderated supply of fuelwood.

While household demand for fuelwood remained high due to economic and access factors, the consistent policy push for renewable energy and the development of alternative biomass products gradually reduced the market for coniferous wood fuel over the six-year period.
