ABSTRACT
The relationship between health and energy is compromised when referring to the use of wood biomass, especially for domestic use. During the industrial revolution, the energy interest consisted in technical development, necessary for the improvement of the quality of life, and represented an affirmation of state communities in the international context, without primary attention environmental protection issues. This chapter aims to highlight how the use of renewable resources is not entirely criticism free in terms of issues related to health and energy. Sustainable development, based on the equilibrium between environment and economic growth in the green economic framework, was an important issue of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development of 2012. The field of renewable energy sources is at early stages for various States, in expansion due to both the government economic support, indispensable to reduce the production costs, and the availability of the consumers to pay green energy at higher price compared to the cost of fossil fuels.
