Dendroenergetic balance in Peru
The balance between wood energy supply and demand indicates that Peru has a positive balance of 250 million metric tons a year, but for the variety of its geography and climate, the distribution of this surplus is not uniform. This map shows that there are provinces located in the jungle with high surplus, while other provinces of the coastal and mountains ecosystems have serious deficits.
Of all the provinces of Peru (194), there are 56 that have deficit in this balance. The deficits range from 56 536 t in the province of Piura and almost 47 000 t per year of Paita to 610 t per year of Pomabamba. The deficit is concentrated mainly in the provinces outside the coast and mountains of Arequipa, Ica, Callao and Tacna regions.
Other provinces have balances close to 0, (consider up to 30 000 tonnes a year) also located in the coast and mountains of Ancash, Apurimac, Ayacucho, Cusco, La Libertad, Tumbes and Lima, among others regions.
On the surplus side, peak values are located in the provinces belonging to the Loreto region, with values in excess of 8 Mt per year, with a maximum of 50 Mt per year in the province of Maynas. Other provinces with large surpluses are The Convention (Cusco) with values close to 8 Mt per year, Tambopata (Madre de Dios) with over 11 Mt and Oxapampa (Pasco) with values of 4 Mt per year.

This dataset is part of the result of the Bioenergy and Food Security (BEFS) analysis for Perú on land and agro-climatic suitability and availability for crops. All BEFS results have been reported in the FAO publication “Bioenergía y seguridad alimentaria - El análisis de BEFS para el Perú - Compendio técnico Vol I y II†and the final products made available in this catalogue.
