| description | Forest harvest residues are a source of renewable energyfor which their use has not yet been considered on a large scale in Mexico and for whose quantification, increasingly accurate assessments are required. In this study equations were developed to estimate the volume of forest residues in order to assess the regional availability of logging residues and their potential for electricity generation and CO2 emission displacement in the forest region El Salto, Durango. The methodology consisted of three steps: i) the forest management programs of 20 ejidos were revised to calculate the available total volume; (ii) 2156 trees from the harvest areas were felled and its volume estimated to develop tree-level residues equations; and (iii) the volume of waste was converted to tons of biomass using the wood density values each group species, and then this value was transformed to units of electrical energy. Due to these species often constitute mixed stands with the same silvicultural treatments and rotation age, differences among species in the volume residues equations were examined using the nonlinear extra sum of squares method. The model parameters were significantly different among species. The amount of forest residues at the tree scale was higher in the Quercus species, while the amount of forest residues was higher, per cut cycle, in Pinus species. Around 31 000 Mg year-1 of forest residues can be used to generate approximately 65.6 GW year-1, considering the use of a technology with a minimum efficiency of 40%, |

En este estudio se desarrollaron ecuaciones para estimar el volumen de residuos forestales y se cuantificó la disponibilidad de biomasa y su potencial para generar energía eléctrica y reducir emisiones de CO2 en la región de El Salto, Durango. La metodología se dividió en tres fases: i) se obtuvo el volumen total autorizado de los programas de manejo forestal maderable de 20 ejidos de la región; ii) se derribaron y cubicaron 2156 árboles en las áreas de corta de los 20 ejidos para generar ecuaciones de volumen de residuos a escala de árbol individual; y iii) el volumen de residuos fue convertido a toneladas de biomasa empleando los valores de densidad de la madera para posteriormente transformar este valor a unidades de energía eléctrica. Dado que las especies estudiadas constituyen bosques mezclados, manejados con el mismo tratamiento silvícola y edad de rotación, se evaluaron las diferencias entre especies en las ecuaciones de volumen de residuos, utilizando el método de la suma adicional de cuadrados no lineales. Los parámetros de las ecuaciones de volumen de residuos fueron significativamente diferentes entre la mayoría de las especies. La cantidad de residuos a escala de árbol fue mayor en las especies del género Quercus, mientras que la cantidad de residuos forestales disponibles por ciclo de corta fue mayor en las especies del género Pinus. Alrededor de 31 000 Mg año-1 de residuos forestales pueden utilizarse en la región para generar aproximadamente 65.6 GW h año-1, considerando el uso de una tecnología con una eficiencia mínima de 40%.
