AB - The paper presents the results of researching wood fuels consumption in  households in Montenegro in the heating season 2011/2012. The research was  conducted in the period October-November 2012 on the sample of 5% of the  total number of households which stated to use solid fuels for heating  purposes in the 2011 census. Results of the conducted researches on the  presence and amounts of fuels consumed in households in Montenegro showed  that total firewood consumption in the heating season 2011/2012 (both urban  and rural households) was 703,571 m3. Wood consumption is the lowest in the  households in the municipalities in the coastal zone, it is somewhat higher  in central zone and the highest in the zone on the north of Montenegro.  Average wood consumption in households in the coastal zone municipalities is  3.79 m3, in the central zone it is 5.02 m3 and on the north of Montenegro it  is 6.74 m3/household. Observed on the level of Montenegro, average firewood  consumption per household was 5.49 m3 and as such it best represents  relatively low consumption level in the coastal zone and high consumption  level on the north of Montenegro. Compared to the neighboring countries,  average firewood consumption per household in Montenegro in the amount of  5.49 m3 is significantly lower than the average consumption in Serbia which  is 7.3 m3/household as well as in Slovenia in the amount of 6.5 m3.
