Zusammenfassung
Within the EU-project BioenNW a GIS-based spatial model for the estimation of the amount and the spatial
distribution of different biomass residues, originating e.g. from agriculture, forestry and municipal waste, is being
developed using the integrated development environment Eclipse together with the programming language Python
and the software ArcGIS. This study presents the model structure and exemplary results for the estimation of residue
potentials from cereals and root crops cultivation on arable land in the district Dueren (Germany). Besides to
theoretical potentials, so called sustainable potentials are estimated assuming different types of ecological and
techno-economic restrictions. The sustainable residue potentials are estimated for the EEA reference grid (1 km)
including maps data on land cover, protected areas, soil erodibility and soil organic carbon content together with
statistical data on land use and crop yields for the year 2010.
