heal.abstract	New developments in various scientific areas, the increasing consumer concerns with the environment, and significant trends in environmental and agricultural policy developments have resulted in the increase of the range of potential products based on agricultural raw materials. The present paper constitutes the first step of the investigation of the optimal use of indigenous biomass for energy and materials in Western Europe (European Union + EFTA, European Free Trade Area), focusing on the assessment of biomass potential from agricultural crops and residues. A number of crops, industrial and traditional, have been analysed in terms of current production, yields, input requirements, production costs and end uses. These data will form the basis of calculations aiming to identify the most promising agricultural systems for non-food biomass uses in the long term. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
