Agenda
Background why I am here and collaborate with BBRG Projects
Brief explanation Objective Progress Next steps
Projects
Analysis of biomass use for greenhouse heating application Simulation of forest biomass supply and logistics Optimization of forest biomass supply chain
Availability
Inventory assessment wood chips and wood pellets Simulation study
Emissions
Life Cycle Assessment of using wood chips, wood pellets and natural gas as a fuel cradle to gate
