Abstract
As Denmark has no hydro power, biomass resources play an important role for a future sustainable energy system. Especially surplus straw and animal manure (for biogas) from agriculture. This paper describes the potential of biomass in the Danish energy supply system three to four decades ahead. The use of biomass for energy purposes may however conflict with the need to maintain soil quality of arable fields. The official Danish policies are supporting both an expansion of ecological farming and an expansion of the use of biomass in the energy supply system. This may give rise to conflicts around the use of biomass between different interest groups.
