Енергетичний потенціал деревної біомаси у лісах українського полісся
Abstract
Abstract. Use of wood biomass of forests for energy purposes is a structural component of organization of a system of sustainable use of forest resources. In this context, within the framework of this research, a quantitative assessment of annual energy potential of wood biomass in forests of Ukrainian Polissya is proposed, which takes into account conceptual foundations of sustainable forest management.
As a result of the research, we established quantitative indices of energy content in live biomass of forest stands of the studied region, as well as their energy productivity. In general, more than 11250 PJ of energy is accumulated in stands of the region, and their energy productivity is about 685 PJ×year-1. At the same time, hardwood stands are characterized by the highest energy productivity – 230 PJ×ha-1×year-1.
We calculated five types of energy potential of wood biomass that take into account aspects of environmental safety, economic development of the region and social features of life of local communities. The quantitative value of the annual energy potential of wood biomass in forests of Ukrainian Polissya varies from 84.6 to 36.6 PJ, depending on its type.
