* Includes electricity connected to the grid and produced from wood energy and wood waste; biomass derived from corn, used for the production of liquid fuels; and non-electric energy demand for wood. Projections are based on the EIA reference scenario, which anticipates a trend of maintaining the status quo, considering known technology and technological and demographic trends.
