Abstract
Biomass can replace fossil raw materials and fuels, and thus decrease
greenhouse gas emissions and use of declining non-renewable resources. Biomass
resources are not unlimited, and the competition within different energy
sectors and between the use for food, energy and raw material will be
increasing in the future. It can already be noticed as increasing prices and
volatilities of prices on cereals, wood raw material and energy wood in
several countries in Europe and other continents. The basis on the sustainable
and sound use of biomass is discussed and comparisons on energy and green
house gas balances within different energy sectors are presented.
