Standard conversion factors for liquid fuels are determined on the basis of the net calorific value for each product. The conversion of fuelwood (solid volume, 9.135 GJ/m 3 ) is based on an average 20-30% moisture content. When data on the transformation of fuelwood into charcoal are incomplete, estimations assume that it requires 6 cubic metres of fuelwood to produce 1 metric ton of charcoal, equivalent to an approximately 53% transformation efficiency on an energy basis
