Abstract:
Future biomass price is the result of market equilibrium between biomass supply and demand curves. So called minimum prices are the outputs from these economic models. Minimum price can be valuated as long term marginal costs of given biomass type. The minimum price was calculated for biomass from short rotation coppice (SRC), Reed canary grass, Miscanthus and Sorel hybrid. The price of chips from short rotation SRC plantations was calculated for biomass yield within the range 5.2–12.1 tons (DM)/ha/year. Its price can be expected in the range 4.37–7.19 EUR/GJ, exclusive of subsidies. The price of Reed canary grass was calculated for four yield curves (2.4–6 tons (DM)/ha/year) and we can assume that the price (without subsidy) will vary within the range 3.19–7.68 EUR/GJ. Economic evaluation of Miscanthus was carried out for the spring harvest term. The price was calculated for four yield curves (2.5–13.0 t (DM)/ha/year) and we can assume that the price (without subsidy) will vary within the range 3.80–16.18 EUR/GJ. The price of Sorrel was calculated for biomass yield within the range 3.8–10.0 tons (DM)/ha/year) and its price can be expected in the range 1.96–4.98 EUR/GJ, exclusive of subsidies.
