NAME

r.green.biomassfor - Toolset for computing the energy potential of biomass from the forestry residues, considering different limits and constraints.

KEYWORDS

raster, biomass topic

DESCRIPTION

The r.green.biomassfor suite computes the energy potential of biomass from the forestry residues, considering different limits and constraints (e.g. legal, technical, economic).

The r.green.biomassfor suite consists of the following different parts:

r.green.biomassfor - computes the energy potential of biomass from the forestry residues, considering different limits and constraints (e.g. legal, technical, economic).
r.green.biomassfor.theoretical - Estimates potential bioenergy depending on forest increment, forest management and forest treatment
r.green.biomassfor.legal - Estimates potential bioenergy depending on forest increment, forest management and forest treatment
r.green.biomassfor.tecnical - Estimates the quantity of woody biomass obtained from a forest surface where extraction is possible given a particular level of mechanisation
r.green.biomassfor.financial - Estimates bioenergy that can be collected to supply heating plants or biomass logistic centres and that is associated with a positive net revenue for the entire production process
r.green.biomassfor.recommended - Estimates potential bioenergy according to environmental restriction
r.green.biomassfor.impact - Calculates impact and multifunctionality values
