Abstract
The report concerns the role of energy policy on the market of bio energy, particularly in relation to the development of prices and volumes of wood fuel. Instruments of control are of four types: 1. Direct regulations of production and/or consumption by means of quantitative restrictions; 2. Measures directly aiming at price alterations to affect supply and/or demand, such as taxes, fees, subsidies or price regulations; 3. Measures to give shifts in supply or demand functions, e.g. through infra structural capacity or through information and influences on consumer attitudes; 4. Support of research and development of products and processes. Historically, the use of political instruments has developed cyclically. The importance of wood fuel has increased in periods of crisis. The direct instruments of control have been of short term character with little influence on long term changes in the use of wood fuel. The labour intensive handling of wood fuel has obstructed the development of efficient markets as well as the use of political instruments directed towards relative prices. The use of wood fuel has both in a short and a long perspective been most influenced by the relation between wood prices and wages. This emphasizes the importance of technical
