Financial and economic crisis and its consequences to the diesel-oil and biomass heating market-case study of greece

الملخص EN

The acute financial crisis in Greece has brought new taxes on the diesel-oil price.

The logic of substituting solid biomass for fossil fuels to produce heat is reinforced even more.

The objective of this work is to estimate the new financial data.

Long-term meteorological data from 66 stations are analyzed in order to evaluate the financial feasibility of a pellet heating system at each site in Greece.

The RET Screen software was used to predict the financial viability and the greenhouse gas emissions reductions.

Thoughts-results which arise from this crisis are also presented.
