Feedstock potentials of agricultural and forestry residues and costs on regional level (NUTS3).

Online public Geographic Information System.

Recomendations 

A a higher resolution level of feestock potentials is desired.

Feedstock, potential, supply and logistics

Feedstock potential in EU-28

Summarized biomass mass density per area in NUTS-3 regions given in t/km2.

In BioBoost the feedstock potential of agricultural residues, organic wastes and forestry residues in EU-27 + Switzerland has been assessed considering the following types of biomass:

  • Agricultural (straw, orchard’s pruning, hay) and animal residues (manure),
  • Forestry residues,
  • Natural conservation matter (urban maintenance of green areas, hay and shrubs),
  • Roadside vegetation,
  • Urban and industrial waste (biodegradable municipal waste, selected waste from the food and wood industry).

Feestock supply

Model relation of feedstock price [€/t] and degree of sourcing [%] of wheat straw in large square bales on base of costs for fertilizer replacement, baling and chasing (€ 33.5 per tonne in average). 0 to 50 % - € 47.5/t (includes a single fertilizer value or € 14/t as profit); 50 to 100 % - linear increase to € 103/t, includes the 5-fold fertilizer value or € 70/t as profit.
  • To allow modelling and optimisation feedstock cost have been determined on national level.
  • Straw: 45 € - 118 €/t free field side stack.
  • Wood chips: 40 € to 150 €/t.
  • Organic municipal waste: - 60 €/t zo – 20 €/t gate fee.
  • A price supply function with constant value until 50% use of available biomass  and increasing price from 50% to 100 % has been used.

Cost supply relationships

Recomendations

Intensity of use is considered in the simulation model by pricing.

More details on local cost supply and demand ratio desirable however this requires very high efforts.
