Abstract
Woody biomass in Ukraine is currently seen as an important resource for securing development of national renewable energy sector, avoiding dependence on the imported fossil fuels, and for building a low-carbon economy. This research highlights the indices of the overall energy potential of Ukraine’s forests of the dominant tree species, expressed in units of primary energy. The indices are differentiated by biomass components and stand age groups. The information basis of the research consists of two main components: data on biometric assessment of trees collected at temporary sample plots, and mathematical models of biomass expansion factors. The research features the assessment results on the annual potential of woody biomass for stem wood (fuel wood), logging residues and wood processing residues. This resource forms a part of the sources of renewable energy and can be used for securing energy needs of the society. The proposed indices of woody biomass energy potential serve as an information basis for shaping the regional programs of forest bioenergy development in Ukraine.
