Work Sheet 6 Calculates the Waste Generated from Industry

Phase 1: Assess the energy potential of the organic waste, by following the flow chart
EBIMUN: Evaluation of biomass resources for municipalities
(BIO-EN-AREA miniprogramme )
The aim of this calculator is for Local Authorities to calculate the energy
potential available to the LA and to assess the options in regards to the
energy potential of the product.
Work Sheet 1 Calculates the energy potential from Hose Hold Waste
Work Sheet 2 Calculates the energy potential from Agricultural Industry Waste
Work Sheet 7 Calculates the energy potential from Harvested Biomass
Work Sheet 3 Calculates the energy potential from Sludges
Work Sheet 4 Calculates the Energy potential from Energy Crops
Work Sheet 5 Calculates the energy potential from Catering Waste

is it economically justifable
Dry Process
What form of dry processes
can the waste be used for, is
there sufficient volumes of
product for an energy project
Can a building be located to
install technologies that can
be utalised the waste product
for energy purposes

3. These figures for wood pellets include the hammer mill and pelleting process, however do not include sourcing the feedstock and any pre-processing such
as drying. If starting from green wood then drying could be a very major component, however pellets are often made from dry waste wood that has been
dried for another purpose, such as joinery. These figures also do not include transport (which is included in the figures for wod chips).
