Possible Role of Biomass in Energy Transformation – Economic Competitiveness and Policy Implications on Case Example of the Czech Republic

Original language description

The paper focuses on the determination of the potential of biomass from energy crops purposefully grown on agricultural land in relation to the biomass production price and on the development of a cost curve for purposefully grown biomass. To model the potential of energy crops, an approach based on deriving crop yields from soil and climatic parameters on individual plots of the analyzed area is used. For the construction of the cost curve of purpose-grown biomass, a model based on the derivation of the biomass production price based on the opportunity cost principle - the forgone economic effect from growing conventional crops - is developed. The methodology presents 5 basic approaches to the allocation of agricultural land for energy crops in terms of priority of food production, maximization of biomass production, minimization of total production costs, even geographical distribution of energy crops over the analyzed area and at the same time in terms of maximization of non-productive effects provided by perennial energy crops. The developed methodology is applied to the example of the Czech Republic with a maximum allocation of 15% of agricultural land for energy crops. The results of the analyses show that assumptions about the land allocation method significantly influence both the shape of the biomass cost curve and the biomass potential for a given area of land for energy crops. The biomass potential for the different land allocation assumptions for the conditions of the Czech Republic ranges from 37.5 to 76 PJ.
