† ‘Report’: Data published in a report. ‘Journal’: Data published in refereed journals.
‡ ‘EC’ = dedicated energy crops,’AR’ = agricultural residues, ‘FO’ = forest biomass.
# The distinction between different types of biomass resource potentials is explained below; ‘+’ = two different resource potentials are estimated, ‘-‘= type of resource potential cannot be assigned one category.
