Abstract:
Bioenergy can be produced from other resources than grain/straw, corn and wood. In the EU project EUBIONET III, the European market for unexploited "alternative" biomass resources is scanned. The main focus was on agro-industrial residues, but other potential biomass resources have been considered. A conservative estimate is that there is a potential of at least 300 PJ in Europe from agro-industrial residues, which are not currently used for energy purposes. The figure is maybe 2 ½ times larger. Exploitation of agro-industrial residues and other alternative biomass resources is not without challenges. Therefore methods of optimizing fuel characteristics with regard to logistics, combustions properties and biological conversion applicability has been listed.
