trees cultivated for energy purposes
I don't think we have a specific expression for this in English, actually we often say "trees grown to provide energy", "trees cultivated for energy purposes" or similar structures. Choosing a very literal translation could be somewhat counterproductive and it doesn't yield many Google hits.
"2.2.1 Biomass is organic material from plants and trees especially cultivated for energy purposes."
