Abstract:
The use of energy from renewable energies has generated an economic system and a market based primarily on incentives of various origin, which are granted at different times and concern different levels of the energy production chain. In rural areas the incentives were aimed at a first stage to encourage the cultivation of biomass, and later to directly support the production of energy with the introduction of incentive tariffs. In Italy energy from renewable energies doubled the capacity in five years, the bioenergy produce 14% of the renewable energies. Without public support the production of lignocellulosic biomass from SRC will be economically sustainable only with adequate biomass market prices, a condition which can be made possible only by a high remuneration of the energy produced. The paper proposed aims at demonstrating that energy production in rural areas can be economically sustainable only in agricultural farms of certain dimensions, having at their disposal adequate quantities of biomass, with given sizes of installed power and profitable electricity ratesThese notes provide important information on how to prepare and submit your paper.
