Sustainable biomass production and carbon management for industrial applications
Sustainable Biomass Feedstock Supply Chains for Advanced Biofuels
Short Introductive summary
The availability of sustainable biomass for advanced biofuels production has become a highly discussed topic in the political arena of the European Union. The study of Concawe and Imperial College Consultants, showed a theoretical biomass availability potential in the EU-27+UK, sufficient to cover the growing demand for low-carbon fuels in the transport sector, particularly when considering the simultaneous penetration of electrification and e-fuels. However, the development of strategically optimal biomass supply chains and logistics is needed to realise this potential. In this context, Concawe will present its scientific work on the geospatial modelling and techno-economic assessment of the advanced biomass supply chains and logistics for biofuels production towards 2050. Based on the projected climate scenarios, regional biomass distribution and the available intermodal transport network and logistical infrastructure in Europe, the calculated economically available biomass potential will be presented.
