Abstract

Based on previous experiences with the cultivation of short Rotation Coppice in Germany, the present article deals with the profitability of tree-plantations for bio-energy generation. The production process is divided into several steps in order to compare the resulting production costs with the associated revenues of potential users. As the cultivation of short rotating coppice in Germany is still in its experimental stage, the focus of this article is on the comparison of different production processes as well as on a critical evaluation of the available data base. The results show that - with no government aid taken into account - large scale cultivation can reach profitability only under very optimistic assumptions. Considering the necessary long term transaction-specific investments, a stable economic environment with secure sales is at least as important as financial aids. Ausgehend von den bisherigen Erfahrungen mit dem Anbau schnell wachsender Baumarten beschaftigt sich der vorliegende Artikel mit der Chance der kommerziellen Nutzung von Baumplantagen zur Erzeugung von Bioenergie in Deutschland. Hierzu wird die Produktion in einzelne Schritte gegliedert und monetar bewertet, um die daraus resultierenden Produktionskosten den moglichen Erlosen denkbarer Abnehmer entgegenzusetzen. Da der Anbau schnell wachsender Baumarten in Deutschland das Versuchsstadium noch nicht verlassen hat, liegt der Schwerpunkt auf dem Vergleich verschiedener Produktionsverfahren sowie einer kritischen Bewertung der verfügbaren Datengrundlage. Dabei zeigt sich, dass der Anbau in grossem Stil - die staatliche Forderung einmal ausgeklammert - nur bei sehr optimistischen Grundannahmen in die Nahe der Wirtschaftlichkeit ruckt. Zudem wird deutlich, dass auch finanzielle Hilfen ohne eine Planungssicherheit fur die notwendigen langfristigen und in hohem Masse faktorspezifischen Investitionen wenig bewirken werden.
