Spatial Diversity in the Share of Local Sources of Biomass in Meeting Heating Needs in the Rural Areas of Lubelskie Voivodship

Tomasz Szul



Abstract

An analysis of heat consumption and the potential of biomass energy was made in particular counties of Lubelskie Voivodship and its spatial diversity was analyzed. Demand for heat in the rural areas of the voivodship runs at a level of 12993 GWh/year while potential biomass that can be used for energy is 5333 GWh/year. On this basis it is estimated that biomass’ share in the voivodship energy sources for heating needs can amount to 43%. To estimate spatial diversity in the share of biomass in covering demand for heat within the voivodship fuzzy sets were used. The highest biomass participation in meeting heat demand needs appears in the eastern and southern counties of the voivodship (Parczewski, Hrubieszowski, Janowski, Biłgorajski, Kraśnicki, Włodawski counties), while the lowest potential was noted in the counties in the north-west (łukowski, opolski and łęczńyski) and these being in the neighbourhood with town counties, including Lublin and Zamość.

Keywords:

final energy consumption for heating, biomass potential energy, fuzzy sets
