Across Australia, there has been a downward trend in the use of wood as a source of energy in dwellings, from 18% in 2002 to 13% in 2008. This trend has been apparent in every state and territory over this period (table 3.5). In 2008, one in ten households used wood as their main source of fuel for space heating (table 3.8).
