Abstract
The system handles information on the supply and consumption of fuel, with the possibility to vary preconditions in a number of respects. It is possible to connect various databases to the system and thereby adapt it to local conditions and to available material. A map is used as an aid for studying the distribution of supplies and/or the positions of production/consumption sites. The map has two-way communication with the databases, which means that by pointing at the map it is possible to access information on a supply or a plant, and that by marking a register it is possible to have a plant or a supply marked on the map. With the conditions and limitations set in BIOFLEX, we estimate that there is in the order of 600-900 GWh/year of forest fuels, and 900 GWh/year of peat, which can be used over and above today`s consumption in the region studied - the County of Vaesterbotten. This gives a potential in the range of 1.5-1,8 TWh/year, and in addition there will probably be an increase in the contribution from saw-mills and other forestry industries. Our assessment is also that the market will be affected by certain structural changes, and that these

Our assessment is also that the market will be affected by certain structural changes, and that these would seem to increase the supply of fuel. There is a trend in the pulp industry to place increased demands on raw materials so that, for example, wood damaged by rot is not accepted. This can however be used as a fuel. The industry is also moving towards an increase in the minimum diameter of pulp wood, which might have a similar effect. Furthermore, the industry is beginning to introduce differentiated prices which will mean that less is paid for round wood from distant areas. These additional costs lead to a relative improvement of the competitive strength of the energy market. Peat production may benefit if peat is classified as a biofuel, due to taxation advantages.
