The development of modern cities promotes the emergence of metropolitan areas with industrial areas. This situation favours the development of production nuclei of industrial waste, which is susceptible to being energetically used. Biomass of forest origin is particularly interesting due to its importance as an energy resource that mitigates CO₂ emissions. The development of energy modelling methodologies is necessary to achieve cleaner production by circular economy in the world. This study aims to improve existing methods and develop new methods to characterise the energy potential of biomass from wood for thermal energy production. The methodology is based on the implementation of a model that calculates waste in terms of quantity, energy and cost while considering techno-economic and environmental restrictions. The study is developed in the Metropolitan Area of Vigo (MAV) for its wood processing industry. MAV is important for the production of manufactured and semi-manufactured products. The results suggest economic and environmental advantages with the installation of hybrid thermal generation systems to supply part of the heat demand using indigenous resources in the MAV. A total of eight district heating systems can be developed with thermal generation systems by Thermal Hybrid Units (THU).

现代城市的发展促进了大都市区和工业区的出现。这种情况有利于工业废料的生产核的发展，该核易于被能量利用。森林起源的生物质特别有趣，因为它作为缓解CO ₂的能源非常重要排放。能源建模方法的发展对于在世界范围内通过循环经济实现更清洁的生产是必不可少的。这项研究旨在改进现有方法并开发新方法来表征木材中生物质用于热能生产的能量潜力。该方法基于模型的实现，该模型根据数量，能源和成本计算废物，同时考虑技术经济和环境限制。该研究是在比戈大都会地区（MAV）为其木材加工工业开发的。MAV对于生产制成品和半制成品非常重要。结果表明，通过使用混合热力发电系统来安装利用MAV中的本地资源来满足部分热需求的经济和环境优势。
