“…Poland has considerable agro-biomass potential that could pave the way toward sustainable development and achieve the country renewable energy targets by substituting the excessive use of fossil fuels, particularly coal and lignite [Czekała 2018;Zyadin et al, 2018]. The biomass potential in the northern part of Europe among the 9 analyzed countries, such: Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Sweden and Norway showed that Germany and Poland have the largest technical potential of agricultural biomass, manure and slurry.…”

Animal biomass is an important substrate in the anaerobic digestion process. The implementation of a waste technology for energy production, such as the production of biogas from animal waste, has been recognized in many countries as one of the best ways to achieve the Sustainable Energy Development Goals. Without a systematic review of resources and accurate estimation of available sources in terms of the amount of potential electricity, it is impossible to manage biomass rationally. The main aim of the article was to present a new tool for assessing the biomass of animal origin and estimating its potential energy through a computer database, which will be widely available in the end of 2020 to show results from the calculation using the database. This tool is configured to enter the data on the developed and undeveloped biomass resources in production of farm animals in rural areas in Poland. Calculations from the database show the biogas potential of swine and cattle manure and slurry in Poland, which is approximately 5.04 billion m 3 , with a 60% share of methane in biogas. It is the value of approximately 3.03 billion m 3 of methane. It is worth underlining that slurry and manure are not high-energy substrates; therefore, it is necessary to introduce more energetic substrate streams to improve the biogas plant efficiency.

“…This study engages the well-established GIS based resource potential to assess the biodiesel potential from WCO in Pakistan [23,24]. The technique of spatial assessment of a resource availability across a study area is one of the most comprehensive and thorough approaches towards the potential identification posed by different resources and it has thus been widely used among the scientific community to study the potential posed by different resources in different study areas [25,26].…”

Techno-spatial assessment of waste cooking oil for biodiesel production in Pakistan

This study presents a take on employing the principles of waste valorization to solve the long-standing problem of finding sustainable resources for biodiesel production. The biodiesel production has always met with a competition with food security and land use. This has limited the scope of the technology to laboratory experiments only. This study aims to assess the geospatial availability of waste cooking oil in Pakistan to map its biodiesel production potential. Owing to the resource posing no land use or food security challenges, a resource assessment using geographical information systems was carried out. The waste cooking oil availability was estimated using the statistics on per capita edible oil consumption with a realistic consumption and collection factor applied to it. The available residual cooking oil was subjected to the transesterification with a rather conservative conversion to the biodiesel at 66.25% to keep the estimates realistic. The study results in heat maps of all the different regions and provinces of the country. The findings suggest that Punjab province is the highest potential province with 249,260 tonnes of biodiesel production annually. Karachi district is the highest potential district with a potential of 36,156 tonnes of biodiesel production in a year. The study paves ways for investment sector in the study area to identify highest potential regions to invest in. It also motivates the scientific community to step outside of experimental research on waste cooking oil's biodiesel production potential and perform resource assessments and techno-economic analyses on the technology for its widespread adoption.Graphic abstract PS-The callouts do not represent any geographical locations instead they represent the shade of the gradient they correspond to in terms of red being the gradient shade for the problems and the green being the gradient shade for the remedial contributions made by the study. The use of the map of the study area is because of the contextual important of the map in a resource and potential assessment that is geospatial in nature.

“…The potential quantity of energy from each crop or species is associated, within the GIS, with the code used in the corresponding municipality and region maps. The addition of the energy values for each crop yield results in a single value of the biomass energy potential by municipality [17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

Spatial Analysis of Residual Biomass and Location of Future Storage Centers in the Southwest of Europe

Forests can be exploited for obtaining biomass, which belongs to a bioenergy group with great energy potential that could replace fossil fuels. This article presents a novel procedure to quantify, map and define biomass, which takes into account both environmental and economic issues. With regard to the environment, only the annual growth of tree species is considered, and not the previous stocks. The growth is determined by logarithmic equations through an original procedure supported by a biomass estimator, which represents the amount of biomass generated annually for energy use, and by means of Excel tables, the exploitable biomass values are obtained. Previously, and by using GIS, areas with slopes exceeding 20% are discarded, thus avoiding soil erosion and damage, and in any case that biomass is not extracted for economic reasons. The same procedure is followed, discarding those areas located more than 4 km from forest roads and runways, as transport costs are increased. Finally, those layers with low energy potential are eliminated as well. Therefore, annually selected quantities of biomass can be obtained safely and abundantly by using detailed distribution maps of the resources, and through planning and performing efficient forestry extraction works.
