Abstract:
The business units ECN Policy Studies and ECN Fossil Fuels of theNetherlands Energy Research Foundation (ECN) have conducted several studies
with respect to the availability and procurement of biomass for the
Netherlands. The aim of these studies is to get a better insight in: the long
term perspective of biomass as a renewable energy source; possible aims of
import of biomass; cost effectiveness of import of biomass; and perspectives
of conversion of biomass into liquid fuels. This report deals with more or
less sustainable biomass scenarios for Europe. Two scenarios are developed
for more or less sustainable land use in Europe. The biomass potential for
each of the European countries and for each of the two scenarios is analysed.
The results are compared to biomass potentials from country specific studies
and from another biomass scenario with figures for Europe. Furthermore, the
motives for and the implications of import of biomass energy are analysed. 16
