Evaluation of the potential of poplar coppice cultivation for bioenergy.
Biomass costs from 76.9 to 120.5 Euro/ton and net energy from 34.7 to 75.4 PJ.
Biomass co-firing in power plants reduces CO2 emissions between 8.2% and 16.5%.
A scenario of CO2 allowances trading can turn the project financially viable.
