4. Research summary & synthesis of outcomes

摘要: This research package provides high-resolution (5 x 5 km grid cells) resources maps for different types of biomass feedstock (including straw, forestry waste and bagasse) in Australia. It also assesses potential bioenergy sites in proximity to the continent’s electricity network infrastructure. Reliable assumptions about the availability of local biomass resources are important to estimate the application potential of bioenergy-based systems, including HCSB plants. In the broader context of the doctoral project, this research package is particularly relevant for research chapter II (Figure 31) in which the siting potential of HCSB plants is further examined using detailed biomass resources maps. The key findings of this research chapter are:• Up to date, and high-resolution biomass resources maps for three important feedstock types (forestry waste, stubble and bagasse) on the Australian continent,• Bioenergy generation …
