Throughout this study, we will analyze whether today the subsidies approved by the public authorities to promote the use of renewable energy sources are also applicable to the use of the enormous energy potential contained in biomass, understood as one of the main renewable energy sources we currently have. To this end, we propose a tour of the most common legaltechnical tools in this regard, including projects at both community and state level, to subsequently examine what has been the result of the practical application of these supports to the use of biomass.

As the title says, throughout this article we will analyze the main conditions both at the territorial and urban level, regulated in Andalusian legislation in order to build a biomass plant. To this end, we will first examine the so-called Andalusia Energy Strategy 2020 in the sense that, although it cannot be considered as yet one more requirement, it does contain general principles interesting to our subject and proposes initiatives that can benefit or slow down the process of installing a biomass plant in the Andalusian territory. Secondly, we will detail the conceptual approach that the doctrine has given to biomass plants and then detail, even in broad terms, the functioning of them. Thirdly, we will go on to explain the regulatory framework for biomass plants, both at Community and state level, including immediately the implementation of this legislation through the analysis of Community case-law on biomass. Finally, we will conclude our article by studying the territorial and urban conditions proper to the Andalusian Autonomous Community for biomass installations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
