In order to provide conversant insight towards the role of the bioenergy and its scale for the region, it is vital to gain an overview of existing projections and realise the causes of variability. A firm, quantitative understanding of the total domestic and imported biomass utilised in the EU affords an array of benefits, from decision-making at the local level, to aiding in defining improved macro-scale, time-bound targets on bioenergy obligations. More specifically this study reviews and analyses biomass potentials from (i) recent policy documentation covering the EU region and at national level; (ii) resource- & demand-based bottom up assessments; (iii) projections from leading integrated assessment models under harmonised scenarios.

In Spain there are around 17 million ha of crop land of which 10 million are rain-fed herbaceous crops land (80% winter cereals). Biophysics factors like soil low organic matter content, low water retention and adverse climate conditions determine low crop yield and, in conjunction with economic output/input farm ratios, the agricultural production profitability of one area. The purpose is to identify areas where traditional food crops are not sustainable economically and could be substituted by others for industrial use. The identified marginal areas are georeferenced using the software ArcGIS. The results obtained indicate that the arable land estimates marginal is about 2 million hectares, which is about 4% of the total Spanish surface. This data shows the valuable objective of this work, identifying the areas in risk of abandonment in order to enhance them. This methodology can be a step ahead in the development of tools for identification of marginal lands.
