      abstract = {On the basis of the current trends we can state that green  energy production is becoming increasingly important in the  utilisation of agricultural areas. In our paper we compare  the characteristics of land utilisation by energy forests,  energy grass, energy hemp, and china reed (Myscanthus  gigantheus). The analysis is based on market position,  equity requirements and profitability, the effects on the  national economy and/or on a particular region, as well as  the environmental and social effects. We have established  that plants that can be used as raw materials for green  energy can achieve an increasingly favourable market  position.
The Economic Strategy based on the National  Strategy and as a part of it, the Energy Strategy, which is  still to be developed, could lay the foundation of the  development of the national strategy for utilising “green  energy” (biomass) by incineration. Hungary lacks fossil  energy resources but has a vast amount of renewable energy  sources. We have a better than average solar energy supply,  wind-power is average or weaker in some places. Due to the  location of Hungary and the climatic conditions and natural  features of the neighbouring countries our hydro-capacity  is worse than average. We have exceptionally favourable  geothermic potentials, which have been poorly exploited. We  have the greatest reserves in green energy (biomass), and  this holds true of all three methods of utilisation. Due to  the extensive nature of the subject we have to leave out  biogas and motor-fuels and focus solely on the National  Strategy concerning utilisation by incineration. 
Of the  factors of bulk production and use of green energy we will  lay particular stress on the price of fossil fuels, the  increased dependence of the national economy on the  international energy markets, the necessity of a  comprehensive national green energy programme, the absolute  necessity of favourable EU and national economic  regulations, and, on a micro level, the cooperation of  biomass producers and energy users.
A successful national  green energy programme cannot be created without coherent  legal and economic regulations whose characteristic  features are as follow: predictable regulation for a period  of at least 10 years, and the creation, imposition, and  guarantee of the conditions for prolonged cooperation  between producers, suppliers, and consumers. The  regulations will have to create and support systems  operating with stable internal balances, which distribute  the proceeds of the whole verticum between the participants  in direct proportion to work, capital, and risk. The actors  of the national green energy programme are the cluster  centre, the land and forest owners, the permanent  leaseholders, service providers, and the scientific and  local government background. Apart from alleviating energy  dependency, the national green energy programme produces a  number of favourable effects in agriculture and rural  development. Among other effects it can reduce  developmental differences between regions, provide  employment, and help to establish a new production  culture.
The implementation of a coherent national green  energy programme prepared by the government and created by  the National Assembly could be a valid answer to future  energy challenges.},
