Abstract

Biomass power belongs to the viable contenders for new generation sources. Biomass power already accounts for about 12% of world primary energy consumption. In the Czech Republic, this fraction makes several tenths of percent, although it is realistic to increase it up to 4 or 6%. The great difference between the large potential of energetic biomass exploitation and current utilization status shows the necessity to examine the reasons of low biomass usage.
