Abstract
If the share of renewable energy in Europe is to be increased to 12% by 2010, one has to consider an increase in the use of biomass, both for heat and electricity production. Wood and wooden waste are anything but rare, but they need rather heavy investments if they are to be fully exploited. That is why the use of wood as a real renewable energy source (keeping the sustainable use and growth in mind!) still is subordinate in comparison to other renewable energy sources. Nevertheless, some cities (many of them in Scandinavia) have had successful experiences, like in Borås in Southern Sweden, where the use of biomass combined with a large drying unit, makes the achievements quite remarkable.
