Potential Production of ElectricalEnergy from Forest Biomass in the North of Spain: Cantabria

Abstract

Abstract. In this work, the authors analyze productive, power, environmental and economic aspects of the forest biomass in the north of Spain. All these points will determine the future development of this power resource, making special reference to the case of the province of Cantabria.

Development of a System for the Usability of Forest Residues for Electric Energy Production

“…However, instead of using coal for the production of electrical energy, other products like biomass could be used. In fact, the use of biomass for the production of electrical energy is considered a renewable resource harvested from a several types of sources, such as brush, willow matter, crops, waste, timber, and forest residues [2,3]. The use of wood is a promising feedstock since it can be obtained from multiple sources.…”
