Abstract
Today, the notion of biomass (biofuels) includes the biodegradable part found in agricultural products, vegetable and animal waste and residues, forestry and wood industry, urban and industrial waste. A purely biological classification does not allow access to information on the energy use of biomass, which required the design of a biofuels matrix. In essence, the market success of a fuel depends on several factors, such as the energy quality expressed by calorific value, price/calorific value ratio, and polluting effect. Today, worldwide, biomass represents 15% of the market share, but the degree of applicability differs greatly from one country to another. In the European Union, there are countries that have a share of biomass in the energy balance of over 10%.
