ASSESSMENT OF THE REPLACEABILITY OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF RAW MATERIALS AND PRODUCTS IN THE ENERGY MARKET

Abstract

In recent years, the problem of assessing the replaceability of various types of raw materials and products in the energy market, in the production of heat and electricity, has become increasingly relevant. Wood fuel in the form of pellets and wood chips has several substitutes with uncertain consumption prospects. This paper presents different approaches to assessing the efficiency of using wood materials as fuels due to high expectations from the development of a "green economy", designed to replace the use of non-renewable natural resources in energy production. © Proceedings of Scientific Papers - Current Trends and Challenges for Forest-Based Sector: Carbon Neutrality and Bioeconomy, WoodEMA 2023.
