There are many types of RES, however, but the focus of this article is on biomass products, which mainly consists of forest production (wood) and energy crops. One of the main problems of using biomass products for renewable energy production is the fact that several constraints should be imposed for both the management of forests and land. There are different aspects of optimal management of biomass products that guarantees the sustainability of the ecological systems. In this article, an analysis of the management for forest and agricultural products from energy crops is presented, demonstrating latest trends in biomass products as primal resource for renewable energy. Finally, a conceptual model for a biomass supply chain is proposed and discussed. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/International Journal of Social Ecology and Sustainable Development9237-53 Grigoroudis Evaggelos Γρηγορουδης Ευαγγελος Αραμπατζής Γαρύφαλλος Arabatzis Garyfallos Petridis Konstantinos Πετρίδης Κωνσταντίνος IGI Global Biomass Products Biomass Supply Chain Renewable Energy Sustainability
