Biomass potential in Bulgaria


The technical potential of biomass for energy utilization is estimated to be about 96.2 PJ/year. This amount includes three components:

  • Forest biomass – 44.4 PJ (46 %);
  • Agricultural biomass – 48.2 PJ (50 %);
  • Waste biomass from industry – 3.6 PJ (4 %).
  • The above potentials resulted from the calculations, which can be followed in more details in the Database.

    The National Long Term Program on promotion of RES 2005-2015 presents different figures on the biomass potential, which are very similar to the ones above. According to the Program, the biomass potential is 96.7 PJ, including:
  • Forest biomass – 46.6 PJ (48 %);
  • Agricultural biomass (incl. raps oil) – 46.9 PJ (49 %);
  • Waste biomass from industry – 3.2 PJ (3 %).

The technical potential of agricultural biomass in Bulgaria in 2005 is as follows: Table 5: Technical potential of agricultural residues
