| Abstract: | The transition to an implicitly solar-based energy system can make use of various specific biomass energy systems. The paper proceeds in three empirical steps. An expert survey supplies the primary biomass potentials available for non-food use in Austria and their respective costs. An inquiry into investment, operating and financing costs of 30 different biomass energy use systems allows a standardized comparison among them and their relationship to fossil reference technologies. Third, a computable general equilibrium model of the Austrian economy is employed to quantify the impacts of fostering the use of distinct biomass energy technologies. |
