Abstract:
paper presents new approach to the determination of biomass potential for "vis major" situations in the defined regions in the Czech Republic. A solid biomass potential (woodchips, timber assortments, straw) for energy purposes is defined as a sum of contributions from conventional agriculture, energy crops and forest logging. The yields of conventional and energy crops are derived for each individual land (farming) plots from the statistical evidence or field data. The paper presents two approaches to the biomass potential determination – so called "standard potential" (i.e. market partitioned and long-term sustainable) and "additional potential" which is increased by a short-term violation of some agronomic and market rules or environmental constraints. Our study shows that it is possible to significantly increase the amount of energy biomass (standard potential) within one year depending on local sources and conditions. The source with the best additional potential are forests, depending on the age and species composition.
