Abstract
Biomass is recognized as one of important renewable energy sources because it can be converted and used as solid, gaseous and liquid forms. Also, biomass is one of promising ways to solve the depletion of fossil fuels and global warming problems. The information about local biomass energy potentials and space energy densities can be powerfully utilized to determine the scale of biomass energy conversion plant and to analyze economic effects. The latest data on domestic biomass resources, such as agricultural, forestry, livestock and urban wastes, were collected from various government organizations and institutes and were analyzed to calculate biomass energy potential and space energy density. As local areas in South Korea to collect biomass resources increased, energy potentials increased, but space energy densities of total biomass decreased.
