The potential of agricultural biomass as a renewable energy carrier depends strongly on the availability of land and residues. Particularly food production, nature conservation and building activity are competing with energy production. The presented thesis develops a model - HEKTOR - which analyses land use competition for the selected EU members, Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary on national level. Feasible development pathways are compared via scenarios until 2030. The results are reviewed in regard to the total energy supply system. Focus of the work is a consistent sustainability approach for the land use system.
