Biomass[edit]


Main article: Biomass in Lithuania

Biomass represents the most common source of renewable energy in Lithuania, with most of the biomass is use being firewood. The amount of energy generated from biomass in Lithuania is the second highest in the EU per capita. It is estimated that in 2020 the country will lead the EU in the quantity of biomass available for biofuel production.
