Economic evaluation of biomass heating systems: a case of greenhouses in northern Greece

In this paper, a methodology for the evaluation of the economic viability of investment plans for biomass heating systems is applied. The factors participating in the development and application of biomass heating systems as well as the financial criteria used for the evaluation of the investment are analytically presented. The methodology is applied to the economic evaluation of two greenhouse-heating projects in the area of Chalkidiki, northern Greece.
