There is enormous potential in the field of solid biogenic residues, which have so far mainly been used for thermal purposes. The total residual potential of dry substrate in Germany is approx. 151.1 million tons, of which about one third remains unused (43.1 million tons). This speaks especially for wood and forestry residues as well as agricultural by-products, for which there have been hardly any marketing opportunities so far. The reason for this is that the materials are highly heterogeneous consisted and could not be converted into energy by conventional systems. In addition, the materials here are usually produced in a decentralized way, so that their centralized recycling or disposal is associated with high transport and logistics costs.
