Popis: This chapter provides an overview of the potential feedstocks utilizable for energy or biorefining purposes, whether from agriculture, forestry, or various organic waste streams. It introduces basics on how to grow or collect these raw materials which differ from the point of view of costs, yields per unit area, and input requirements. Their profile in terms of environmental impacts is also analyzed, with a particular emphasis on land-use change effects. Since terrestrial plants require land to grow, developing biomass may potentially impact land use and ecosystem services worldwide. Prospects for increasing the biomass supply as well as its sustainability in response to the pressing need to substitute fossil resources within a foreseeable future are discussed in the last section. Avenues for progress include crop breeding, new production systems, sustainable intensification, and multifunctional land use.
