Abstract
Achieving the objectives of the European Union Association Agreement regarding Chapter 14 - Energy from the Community Acquis, imposes finding renewable and low-polluting energy resources. An important resource of vegetal biomass - potential renewable and low-polluting energy resource - is REED.
