Abstract:
The main objectives of this work is the development, implementation and evaluation of biomass supply chains from“green”agricultural residues for the production of energy products (solid biofuels, energy) through specific field trials, testing ofenergy exploitation technologies and related techno-economic and environmental assessments. For that purpose, two major categories of biomass were selected, straw and corn residues, as well aspruning, including urban tree’s clearing and forest residues. The work will be implemented in three regions in Greece, wherethere are sufficient quantities of residues that concern the action. Furthermore, in these areas there isalready interest from existing biomass units for the management and utilization of agricultural residues. The sustainability assessment and local impacts assessment of potential supply chains through life-cycle and life-cycle-cost analysis as well as socio-economic analysis will ensure the overall assessment of the supply chain performance. The management of “green”agricultural residues for energy exploitation and the development of efficient supply chains will support the higher penetration of biomass in the national energy balance providing also environmental benefits.
