Biomass-production

Biomass production research and research on technologies for conversion of biomass to energy is developing rapidly within the ecu Union. In the UK, it has become clear that the two research areas must, of necessity, be linked. To allow examination of this linkage, a comprehensive economic and systems model has been developed at ETSU. This model, referred to as the Renewable Energy Crop Analysis Programme, RECAP, may be a versatile computer model of the entire biomass to energy chain. It details all costs from biomass production through harvesting and transportation to final energy conversion. Study of interdependencies and sensitivities to key factors are possible and rapid analysis of the positive effects of “what if scenarios can be undertaken.
