In the Region of Central Macedonia, the main biomass producers are plant and forest residues (firewood, twigs, straw, sawdust, olive kernels, seeds), animal waste (manure, waste), plants grown on energy plantations for energy use, as well as municipal waste residues of the food industry, agricultural industry and the biodegradable fraction of municipal waste. More specific the crops that can produce biomass from their residues are mainly cereals and energy crops because they have plenty of straws and stalks which can produce high levels of biomass. From the crop plans it is observed that the main cultivations of Central Macedonia are cereals (hard and soft wheat), cotton and maize and in some regional units such as Pella and Imathia the main cultivations are fruit trees.
