Abstract: Geospatial software (GS) was
innovated and developed by National Laboratory of
Renewable Energy (NLRE). It is a powerful tool for
evaluation and assessment of Biomass sources for
researching areas. The data of GS was updated the
biomass of Vietnam based on “Statistical handbook 2010”.
GS is focused on agricultural biomass residue and
classifies into 5 catalogues: Rice crop, corn crop,
peanut crop, sugar cane crop and cassava crop residues.
Detail biomass source of each catalogues could be
evaluated and assessed for every province of Vietnam. In
specific location with its distance to surrounding
areas, obtainable of biomass source could be calculated
by GS. The combination and integration with HOMER
software be able to analyze an economic and
environmental impact for application of biomass source
for off-rid electric generation.
