摘要: Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine Scotland's potential for biomass energy production, and what role it could play in contributing renewable needs. We found that short rotation coppice (SRC) potentially produce up 3.3 GW electricity, thereby supplying 31% current domestic electric requirement 10.5 GW, supply 5.71 GW through combined heat power (CHP). Forest residues have the 0.94 GW accounting 9% electricity requirements, 1.64 GW CHP. SRC displace about 6 Mt C from fuel oil reduce annual CO 2 emissions by 22 yr - 1 (15% decrease 1999 emissions) replacing fossil fuels generation. 6.5 (4% emissions). When compared other renewables, bioenergy (SRC plus forest residues) has same as tidal, half wave 1/5th wind energy. Our figures suggest should form part a diverse renewables portfolio Scotland.
