| Summary: | This analysis touches upon an evaluation and estimation
of the potential of communes in Małopolska voivodeship
in terms of energetic use of plant biomass. The research
results showed that if biomass, in the form of straw and hay not
used in agriculture and willow (salix) cultivated on lands out
of agricultural production, was marked for energetic aims, the
generation of about 8.3 PJ of energy would be possible. It was
also pinpointed that within the group of communes with the
highest potential of hay and willow for energetic use (25% of
communes), environmental (the quality of production space)
and economic factors (the area structure, and confi guration,
etc.) will hinder the development of the biomass market. The
same conditions which contributed to the regress of agriculture
are seen as an obstacle to eff ective and profi table biomass
production. The only real opportunity for development of the
biomass market is seen in straw, which can be acquired in
communes with the best natural and economic conditions. |
