Sustainable Resources for Bio-Based Industrial Processing

Mapping of Marginal, Underutilised and Contaminated Lands in Europe and Ukraine and Sustainability Assessment of Bioenergy Value Chains through the BIOPLAT-EU webGIS Tool

Short Introductive summary

In the framework of the BIOPLAT-EU project, the marginal, underutilised and contaminated (MUC) lands in Europe and Ukraine were mapped and a tool (BIOPLAT-EU webGIS Tool) was developed. This tool will allow any stakeholder to search for MUC lands in Europe. It will give the user some specifications about these lands such as agronomic and climatic ones, and consequently what type of biomass would be suitable to be planted on these lands. The tool will then allow assessing the environmental, social and techno-economic sustainability aspects of the defined value chain when the user choose or enter the required data.
