Biomass sourcing and logistics: From theory to practice

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

Based on renewable energy targets and other initiatives to substitute fossil resources, the worldwide demand for woody biomass is expected to increase strongly in the next years Currently wood has already an important role in the energy sector, and in the near future it will also play an important role in the production of biofuels. The profound identification of biomass baskets and the establishment of integrated harvesting, processing, and transport concepts are needed. An approach for implementing an integrated biomass supply and logistic concept is put forward. The approach allows the assessment of the availability and sustainable security of raw material supply both for industry and alternative use in the long term, This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 8th World Congress of Chemical Engineering (Montreal, Quebec, Canada 8/23-27/2009).
