heal.abstract	The present study aims at the introduction of specific woodfuel types, which are prolifically cultivated in the Northern Greece context, in the relevant energy network. The examined parameters included the 'high heating values', the densities, the annual total production, the annual proportional allocation of the available woodfuels, as well as the reference year of each project implementation. Especially, the examined woodfuel types were the sessile oak, the white poplar and the chestnut tree, since their mean proportional woodfuel production coverage exceeds the 60% of the total woodfuel Greek production, over the examined period 2004-2007. Additionally, through the investigation of the relevant energy demand among the proposed projects, two different scenarios of projects materialisation were applied and the optimum environmental, economic and socioeconomic conditions were evaluated. Finally, a critical comparison between relevant studies outcomes revealed the significant determining parameters of the scenarios prosperity.	en
