Zalans, J., Latvia
In year 2007 felling volume in Latvia was reached level of 13.87-14.37 millions m**3. In the same period in Latvia 8.78 m m**3 were processed by wood industry (sawmills, plywood mills) and 2.35 m m**3 were exported. Energy wood - production residues, fuel wood, tops and branches - volume available in Latvia was about 7.53-8.02 m m**3. In 2007 Latvia exported 1.9 m m**3 energy wood, mostly in pellet form. Local consumption of energy wood in Latvia in year 2007 was 5.47-5.97 m m**3, about 60% or 3.1-3.6 m m**3 were used in private houses. Rest of energy wood was burned in mills and central heating systems for heat production (without cogeneration). Cogeneration plants like Riga TEC-1 and TEC-2 now for cogeneration mainly are using natural gas. In Latvia economically reasonable is placing of biomass cogenerations plants in large regional cities, of course not making additional competition for existing natural gas cogeneration plants and modern heat plants like TEC-1 and TEC-2.
