Methodology for biomass energy potential estimation: Projections of future potential in Colombia

Results predict a theoretical bioenergy potential in Colombia 56%-69% larger in 2030 than in 2010 (1.31-1.41 EJ). A sensitivity analysis shows that while a higher global biofuel use leads to a higher local bioenergy potential, its influence is less pronounced than that of agricultural yields, demand and specific energy of biomass resources.
