The Biomass-electricity-sustainability Ordinance demands for fluid bio energy sources to be produced sustainably. Corresponding methods of evaluation so far consider only ecological, social and economical criteria. Thus it is not apparent how the sustainability of biomass cultivation and harvest is infl uenced by agricultural operating processes. However, operating agricultural technology causes emissions and consumes resources and therefore offers room for improvement. An increased efficiency of the processes has effects on the sustainability of both the agricultural implement and the biomass production. To visualise these effects it is necessary to particularly include the operating processes into the sustainability evaluation.
