Identifying environmentally and economically optimal bioenergy plant sizes and locations: A spatial model of wood-based SNG value chains

Martin Gassner, Léda Gerber, Bernhard Steubing, Luca Pampuri

The optimal size and location of bioenergy plants with regards to environmental and economic performance are assessed with a spatially explicit value chain model of the production of synthetic natural gas (SNG) from wood. It consists of several individual ...
