dc.description.abstractThis study discusses analytical evaluation of wood fuel energy content of certain indigenous trees in Western Kenya. These trees are used for the provision of timber for general construction work as well as fencing materials for homes and farms in the rural areas. Specifically, the paper discusses the estimation of major energy parameters such as moisture, ash, and carbon content which affect or contribute to the magnitude of the specific heat energy of the trees. The study also analyses how each one of these factors contributes to the specific heat energy content of the fuel wood. The external factors affecting the availability of fuel woods such as ecological factors, human influence as guided by convenience, and circumsatantial economic factors are also discussed. Consequently, specific policy recommendations for agroforestry management for the area covered in this paper are given.en
