Abstract
By the year 2010, 12% of the gross inland energy consumption of the European Union is to be covered by renewable sources of energy. To meet this goal, intensified use needs to be made of biomass, both for heating purposes and for power generation. Timber and forestry residues are available in ample quantities, but the required investment costs are a barrier to the broad-based use of this energy source. In Ignalina, an energy production from biomass project financed under a Swedish funding programme has come to symbolise the commitment of the local authority in a town provided with a nuclear plant.
