World wood consumption is divided between energy needs, firewood and charcoal (more than 50%), sawn wood, poles, supports and construction (20%) and wood used in the pulp and paper industry (27%). World forecasts for wood consumption in the year 2000 exceed 4 billion m3, which represents a deficit of 1 billion. There is a deficit of both wood and energy in the world, which makes forest production a priority objective. The Eucalyptus genus has been and is one of the most industrially used forest resources in the world. Originating in Australia, they are extremely diverse, with more than 600 different species. Its wood is suitable for a wide variety of uses: domestic consumption, high-calorie firewood, charcoal production, building structures, communication poles, parquet floors, cellulose pulp, mine supports, slope support, or for the production of fibreboard. Its cellulose can be used to manufacture many everyday products: sanitary ware, nappies and hygiene products; derivatives such as cellophane or wallpaper glue; Formica and other laminates, special papers, filters, electronic papers; as well as the production of textile fibres such as rayon. Demand for products derived from eucalyptus wood continues to be the one showing the greatest sustained growth at an international level.
