Hager, W. (2009). Strategy for thermal, renewable energy supply in smaller output range for eastern Europe and the related demands on the boiler industry [Master Thesis, Technische Universität Wien]. reposiTUm. https://resolver.obvsg.at/urn:nbn:at:at-ubtuw:1-54001
The aim of this work is a strategy, with which the countries in East-Europe can use their own renewable energies and so they will be more independent from fossil energy. Due to the current situation reaching this aim is not possible. The main biomass in form from wood-pellets will be exported to West-Europe on a high price level, the boiler technology is expensive and the purchasing power is low. It is very important to know the energy market, the potentials from utilizable renewable energies and alternative renewable energies how agricultural biomass which is in this time not used. The important factor from the agricultural biomass is the net energy output per hectare land area and the associate expenditure with them. The processing of the biomass is also an essential factor. The processing plants should be easy in operation and service. The investment costs must be clear. The boiler technology must be developed and adapted for the special biomass crops. For a high density from biomass boilers in a small region it is necessary, that the consumer gets a contracting model, so he has no investment, no risk with a new technology and the running costs are low and for a long time calculable.
