<p>In 2016 (the latest year for which data are available), the UK energy demand for
biomass was 8,542 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent (ktoe). Of this,</p><p>a) 46 per
cent (3,935 ktoe) was domestically sourced wood, and;</p><p>b) 36 per cent (3,071
ktoe) was imported wood.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>2016</strong></p></td><td
