Agricultural Residue Potential Across Netherlands (2023 - 2024 - 2025) Derived from Crop Type Mapping and Above-Ground Biomass Estimates

Agricultural residue potential dataset for the Netherlands (2023–2025) providing polygon-level estimates of green, woody, and total agricultural residues derived from crop type mapping and above-ground biomass estimates. This dataset provides polygon-based estimates of agricultural residue potential across the Netherlands for the years 2023, 2024, and 2025. The dataset was developed within the TEAPOTS project (Grant Agreement No. 101118296) and combines crop type information from the Dutch Basisregistratie Gewaspercelen (BRP) with predicted above-ground biomass (AGB) estimates and crop-specific residue coefficients. Agricultural residues were estimated using two complementary approaches: For annual and herbaceous crops, green residue potential was derived from predicted above-ground biomass and crop-specific Harvest Index values. For woody and perennial crops (e.g. vineyards, fruit orchards, hops, and other permanent crops), residue potential was estimated using crop-specific woody residue coefficients representing annual pruning biomass production. The dataset contains polygon geometries representing agricultural land parcels and includes the following key variables: crop type crop class code polygon area (ha) mean above-ground biomass (t DM ha⁻¹) green residue potential (t DM ha⁻¹) woody residue potential (t DM ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹) total residue potential (t DM ha⁻¹) Crop type information was derived from the Dutch Basisregistratie Gewaspercelen (BRP), the official geospatial database of agricultural parcels maintained by the Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland (RVO) within the framework of the European Union Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Original crop codes were translated and harmonised into English crop descriptions to facilitate cross-country analyses and comparison with other TEAPOTS pilot regions. Biomass information was generated within the TEAPOTS project using spatial modelling approaches and predicted above-ground biomass raster products. Predicted biomass values were combined with crop-specific residue coefficients to estimate agricultural residue availability at parcel level. The dataset is intended to support research and applications related to: agricultural residue assessment biomass resource mapping bioenergy and bioeconomy studies circular economy analyses regional biomass availability assessments renewable energy planning Coordinate Reference System (CRS): UTM WGS84 / UTM Zone 31N (EPSG:32631) Data are distributed as GeoPackage (GPKG) files accompanied by JSON metadata files containing technical specifications, provenance information, statistical summaries, and source dataset references.
