Abstract

Cet article se propose de construire un cadre d’analyse microéconomique analytique permettant d’étudier les conditions d’existence et les déterminants de la compétitivité d’une technologie de chaudière fonctionnant au bois-énergie dans un cadre industriel. Pour ce faire, on choisit d’étudier une firme représentative de l’industrie du séchage des bois dont le processus de production consiste en la fourniture d’énergie calorifique destinée au séchage des bois. Pour assurer son processus de production la firme dispose de deux technologies de chaudière alternatives, l’une fonctionnant au combustible fossile et l’autre au bois-énergie. Le principe de la modélisation repose sur la formulation des fonctions de coût associées à chacune des technologies en présence. Le calcul des éléments de la solution analytique du modèle permet d’envisager les différents aspects du choix technologique d’une unité industrielle du séchage des bois, les modes et l’efficacité d’une intervention publique, et les conditions de coûts de production et de prix de vente devant prévaloir dans le système d’approvisionnement en ressource bois-énergie.
