Decision support system
(DSS) aiming at
supporting an investor by
thoroughly assessing an
investment in locally
existing multi-biomass
exploitation for trigeneration
applications
(electricity, heating and
cooling), in a given area.
Assessing which pretreatment

what point of the chain,
with which conversion
technology would give the

Table 3 presents the design of the bio-energy systems dealt with in the papers and the
section framed by the researchers. Namely, feedstock, technology, energy end
application, and the part of the supply chain under examination are assessed.
