  • Economic optimization of forest biomass processing and transport

    Creator:
    Zamora Cristales, René Arturo
    Abstract:
    An economic analysis and optimization of forest biomass processing and transportation at the operational level is presented. Renewable sources of energy have captured the interest of public and private institutions to develop cost-effective supply chains to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. The production of energy from forest harvest residues constitutes...

  • Spatially-explicit prediction of recoverable harvesting residues

    Creator:
    Schmidt, Christian F. W.
    Abstract:
    In order to decide whether or not to develop biomass energy facilities and where to best locate them, developers and investors need accurate assessments of fuel supply. This includes information about the distribution and concentration of fuel throughout the assessment area, the quality of fuel (form, moisture content, contaminant content,...
