Assessment Activities 1. Biomass potential assessment for bioenergy production in Albania Project Time period: 2007 – 2009 Funded by: Ministry of Education and Science Data management: paper based
Theoretical analysis: + • Economical analysis: • + • Technical analysis • Achievable analysis • – • input data • statistical bulletins • interviews • system boundaries • national • regional level • output data • Scenario calculation
2. Analysis of Biomass residues potential for electrical energy generation in Albania Article Sh. Karaj, T. Rehla, H. Leis and J. Müller Universität Hohenheim, Institute of Agricultural Engineering (440e), Garbenstr. 9, Renewable and Sustainable Energy ReviewsVolume 14, Issue 1January 2010 pp 493-499
Theoretical analysis: + • Technical analysis: • + • Economical analysis • Achievable analysis • – • input data • statistical bulletins • system boundaries • national & regional level • output data • Snapshot View
Recommendation • detailed studies on energy crops production • quantification of different flows of non-used biomass (saw mills) • Detailed research of ecologically sustainable use of biomass • more detailed research of economical and achievable scenarios • suitable incentive measures, and investment methods identification
Selection of target areas and focused studies • Further collaboration with other research and academic institutions.
