Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : Nowadays, wood biomass is the primary source of renewable energy in France and projections for the future are ambitious. However, forest owners’ incentives to produce wood biomass are rarely studied. Qualitative and quantitative surveys were carried out with forest owners in Landes de Gascogne (France) to assess their level of commitment and to understand what hindered and drove the supply of the wood energy sector. We show that forest owners are dubious about the profitability of this sector and its long-term sustainability, but that, at the same time, they view wood energy as an opportunity to enhance forest by-products and to earn additional income.
