Info

Not only are the production technologies themselves typically complex, there are numerous other critical components to utilizing biomass resources –resource economics (which includes harvesting, collection, transporting, and processing), optimal siting to decrease transportation costs (and thus improving project economics and community acceptance), difficulties in permitting due to lack of knowledge of potential air, water, and waste emissions from emerging technologies, and market uncertainty for both principal products (i.e., fuels) and potential byproducts. All of these aspects need serious review and are resource intensive.
