Abstract
Cuba has in the biomasses the purpose of increasing the employment of the renewable sources of energy; in particular the forest biomasses require an evaluation of the potentialities with which it counts our country. The objective is to evaluate the readiness of forest biomass as substitute of the fuel oil. The determination of the potential of forest biomass is calculated according to Espinosa’s methodology. It has 456, 3 (Mm3) of available forest biomass up to the 2015 that it will produce 5 163 490.8 GJ to produce energy and 1 434 303.0 MWh of electricity. The energy total that could be originated by the available forest biomass of the pine species and eucalyptus is of 15 222 738.8 GJ and 4 228 538.6 MWh / year respectively. The evaluated biomasses of pine and eucalyptus can substitute 200 564.4 t of fuel-oil while, the available one in general 19 747.0 t.
