A developable stock potential is a type of stock potential that describes the fraction of the economic potential that can be developed under realistic conditions (regulations, environmental and social restrictions).
An economic stock potential is a type of stock potential that identifies the proportion of the technological potential that can be utilised economically (based on economic boundary conditions).
A sustainable stock potential is a type of stock potential that takes into account all aspects of sustainability, which usually requires careful consideration and evaluation of different ecological and socio-economic aspects. The differentiation of the sustainable potential is blurred, since ecological aspects may already have been considered for the technological or economic potential, depending on the author.
A technological stock potential is a type of a stock potential derived from a theoretical stock potential, taking account of the annual efficiency of the respective conversion technology and the additional restrictions regarding the area that is realistically available for energy generation.
A theoretical stock potential is a type of stock potential that identifies the physical upper limit of a stock of a source or sink in a spatial region of reference.
