Map description
The map of wood waste from municipal waste was based on 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Gas Inventories. The amount of wood waste depends on the region. In the Northern Europe (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden) 10% of MSW are wood waste, in the Eastern part (Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia) it is 7.5%, in Southern Europe (Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Malta, Portugal, Spain, Turkey) 10.6%, the highest amount of wood waste is in the Western Europe (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Luxemburg, Netherlands, Switzerland, United Kingdom) 11%.

The map presents theoretical potential of biomass from demolition and construction waste. To calculate this biomass potential data from the Demowood project (2014) were used. The project defined the amount of wood waste per capita. In this project, the data was prepared only for Finland, France, Germany, Austria and Switzerland, while the remaining countries were not included. Therefore, the value set for Germany (36.8 kg per person) was adopted for Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark; for Estonia, Sweden and Latvia, the value for Finland (184 kg per person), for Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Luxembourg, Croatia, Malta, Romania, Great Britain and Bulgaria, French figures (28.47 kg per person) were used, and for Slovenia, data from Austria (33.66 kg per person) were accepted.

The map presents the potential of wood industry by-products. The data on wood industry waste was obtained from the Renew project. The potential of biomass from wood industry is grouped in four fractions:by-products from sawmills,by-products from pulp and paper industry,by-products from board industry,by-products from other wood processing industries.
