Abstract

The demand of biomass for energy production purposes will further increase over the coming years. For future attempts of implementing a sustainable energy system based on renewable energy carriers, agricultural residues are seen as a high-ranked option. This chapter presents background information for the biomass market in the European Union (EU), and the economic and ecological potential of straw as bioethanol feedstock is evaluated considering influencing factors for straw from being a residue to become a resource.
