Abstract: The study is aimed at evaluating the potential of biomass energy production as an alternative to fossil fuel depletion and to analyse the environmental benefits and drawbacks of using biomass. Synthetic data related to Romanian case are presented and a method of biomass potential assessment is developed. A life cycle assessment methodology is presented in order to evaluate the environmental impacts. The paper concludes by summarizing the biomass energy production potential and suggests steps for identifying and utilisation of biomass for energy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
