Biomass potential in Slovakia
Table 21: Utilizable potential of biomass for combustion
Kind of biomass | Amount in thousands tons | Potential in PJ |
Forest biomass residues from forest management | 1810 | 17 |
Wood-processing industries - mechanical processing (bark, off-cuts, sawdust) | 950 | 12 |
Wood-processing industries - chemical processing | 460 | 6,5 |
Biomass from communal sphere (urban biomass, communal wood waste) | 300 | 3,2 |
Wood from selected energy forests and new short rotation plantation on cca 45 thous.ha | 660 | 6,3 |
Dendromass | - | 45 |
Solid agricultural biomass (straw, grain, vineyards) for combustion | 2031 | 28,6 |
Total solid biomass | 2031 | 73,6 |
The energy potential of biomass produced in agriculture is 12, 89 TWh or 46, 5 PJ (including 11 PT of biofuels for transport and 6, 9 PJ from biogas production). The utilizable biomass potential from agricultural plants (straw from cereals and rape seed, sunflower blades, the wood waste from gardens and vineyards) has a energy value 28, 6 PJ. The rest of vineyard sticks and rest from gardens are utilizable raw material too. According to the present quantification of agricultural biomass, approx. 2 mil. tons of a mass utilisable for energy purposes are disposable. The more detailed distribution is presented in database table 36.
Biomass from agricultural occurs mainly in the southern parts of Slovakia, which are the most productive in planting crops like rape seed, maize, and cereals. Permanent surplus straw are in the south part of Central Slovakia, region of Upper Nitra, Spiš and in lowlands of the East Slovakia.
