Description
The objectives of this paper are to analyze the technical potentials and the respective costs of energy production from biomass in the Federal Republic of Germany. Both benefits and costs of residual products are investigated. The energy potential is approximately 310 PJ a-1, or about 3.3% of the final energy demand in Germany in 1991. The possibilities of producing solid energy carriers and liquid fuels on agricultural land are investigated. Conclusions are drawn on the possibilities and restrictions of energy production from biomass in Germany's energy system. (author)
