operation of biomass installation biomass electricity generators. Outcome 1 A comprehensive assessment of domestic forestry resources has been completed as input for policy development, including a survey of market aspects. (A) Database of forestry biomass residues in relevant regions; (B) GIS application to retrieve spatial information on forestry biomass residues; (C) Economic assessment of the commercial value of forestry biomass resources; (D) SEA (Strategic Environmental Assessment) on extraction of biomass residues for energy purposes for the Forestry Sector. (A) No information available forestry biomass residues for planning purposes; (B) GIS application in use with DGF, but not covering forestry residues and economic/logistical parameters; (C) Lack of insight in economic drivers behind the market of forestry products and residues; (D) No sector-wide SEA available. (A) Accurate information has been obtained on forestry biomass resources; (B) An appropriate GIS module has been implemented linking biomass data with economic and technical parameters; (C) A detailed assessment (report) provides energy policy makers with adequate information about potential uses of forestry products and residues, including the use for electricity and heat production; (D) A SEA has been carried for the forestry sector as a whole. Project evaluation, assessment of project outputs. This project outcome concerns studies and analyses. No specific risks have been identified. Assumptions: (1) the Government of Uruguay maintains its firm commitment of co-financing resources for the PROBIO initiative. Outcome 2 The current policy framework for electricity generation based on biomass residues from forest and agro-industry, has been strengthened. (A) Insight in economic, technical and logistical aspects of biomass collection; B) National strategy for use of biomass from forestry, wood processing industry (A) Lack of insight in economic, technical and logistical aspects of collection of forestry-based biomass residues; (B) Two contracts have been awarded for two 10-MW (A) Adequate determination of key parameters to assess costs and constraints; (B) Distributed biomass generation is being facilitated within the framework of national Official publications, project evaluation, assessment of project outputs Risks: The involved ministries (MVOTMA and MIEM) would withdraw their commitment to PROBIO. Assumption: The Government of Uruguay is strongly committed to include biomass energy sources in its national policies.
