Assessment of the potential biomass supply in Europe using a resource-focused approach
(2004) 2nd World Conference and Technology Exhibition on Biomass for Energy, Industry and Climate Protection- Abstract
- This paper analyses the potential biomass supply in the 15 EU countries, 8 new member states and 2 candidate countries (ACC10), plus Belarus and the Ukraine. For this purpose five scenarios were designed to describe the short-, moderate- and long-term potential of biomass-for-energy. Our assessments show that under certain restrictions on
land availability, the potential supply of biomass energy amounts to up to 12.8 EJy-1 in the EU15 and 6.1 EJy-1 in the ACC10. For comparison, the overall energy supply in the EU15 totalled 62.6 EJy-1 in 2001. Consequently, there are no important resource limitations in meeting the biomass target for 2010, which was set by the European Commission (5.6 EJy-1 for the EU15 according to the 1997...

However, given the slow implementation of the RES policy it is very unlikely that the biomass target will be met within 2010. (Less)
