Determining potential locations for biomass valorization using a macro screening approach

摘要: Abstract European policy states that by 2020 at least 20% of final energy consumption should come from renewable sources. Biomass as a source cannot be disregarded in order to attain this target. In study macro screening approach is developed determine potential locations for biomass valorization specified region. The consists five steps: (1) criteria determination, (2) data gathering, (3) weight assignment, (4) score, (5) spatial representation. resulting outcome provides first well balanced scan the possibilities production using regional biomass. This way makers and investors can supported motivated building plants specific more detail, which described ‘micro-screening’. our case applied potentially interesting establish project. region has been limited forty-four communities province Limburg (Belgium). shown very effective since amount reduced drastically.
