摘要: Abstract Pellets have received increasing international attention lately because of their potential as clean, affordable and renewable energy sources, particularly when produced from agricultural forest residues. However, knowledge about feedstock availability, costs, users biomass pellets is scarce in Mexico. In this paper we examine the for to become a sizable low-carbon, source that could compete with substitute fossil fuels specific economic sectors We estimate market currently available residues Mexico between 131 233 PJ/yr, total costs ranging 6.3 12.8 USD/GJ. Sawdust lowest cost chips sawdust supply distances greater than 400 km 480 km, depending on production cost. At current fuel prices, LPG, oil residential natural gas. Potentially, completely replace gas demand 73% LPG commercial heating. To coal petroleum coke used industrial power sectors, would need an incentive 30 50 USD per non-emitted tCO2 over above selling price. may potentially mitigate up 18% GHG emissions electricity
