| Objectives |
This project is developing a model linking bio energy crop growth with technology options for logistics, pre-processing and final use as heat, power or transport fuel. It is developing a value chain optimisation framework and is looking at the economic and carbon impact of sustainably developing UK biomass resources whilst converting these to various energy vectors. It is also considering the relevant agronomic, techno-economic and geographic factors associated with the cultivation, collection, processing, transmission and distribution of biomass. Extract from Press Release dated 19 May 2011: This is a 9 month long £840,000 Biomass Systems Value Chain Modelling project, which will develop a spatial model linking bio energy crop growth with technology options for logistics, pre-processing and final use as heat, power or transport fuel. The project will develop an economic value chain optimisation framework and look at the carbon impact of sustainably developing UK biomass resources whilst converting these to various energy vectors. It will also consider the relevant agronomic, techno-economic and geographic factors associated with the cultivation, collection, processing, transmission and distribution of biomass |
| Abstract |
The development of the BVCM model has been ongoing since the project first started in 2011. The documents published here relate to the intial phases of model development. They do not included later developments and are therefore not representative of the current BVCM model, or in some cases, its findings. For a more recent overview of BVCM and the findings derived from it, readers are encouraged to look at the insights and reports published by the ETI, here: http://www.eti.co.uk/insights and here: http://www.eti.co.uk/library/overview-of-the-etis-bioenergy-value-chain-model-bvcm-capabilities BVCM is now managed by the Energy Systems Catapult (ESC). Any questions about the ESC should be directed to them at: info@es.catapult.org.uk |
