Summary:Woody biomass plays a significant role in Hungarian energy production. However, growing raw material needs can only be sustainably met in long term through conscious forest management and by exploiting additional dendromass production opportunities. This article summarizes research results of the Innovative Biomass Utilization Group relevant to the project entitled Sustainable Raw Material Management Thematic Network - RING 2017. The work of the research group examines several factors affect yield and influencing economic aspects, such as forest regeneration, damage and harvesting solutions in a time when timber quality is declining and forest damage is increasing. Also carrying out analyses of the opportunities for further woody biomass cultivation outside the forest area (agroforestry, short rotation woody energy plantations). The study pays attention particularly to new ways of utilizing woody materials, e.g. the production of lignocellulosic biofuels and wood mixture pellets.
