D3.5 Formalized stepwise approach for implementing logistical concepts using BeWhere and LocaGIStics : S2Biom Project Grant Agreement No. 608622

This deliverable describes a formaliz logistical concepts in the practical chains and for assessing thei BeWhere and LocaGIStics. It describes these two logistical assessment tools interlinked so that LocaGIStics can further refine and detail the outcomes of the BeWhere model and that the BeWhere model can use the outcome of the LocaGIStics model to modify their calculations if needed. The BeWhere model supports the development of EU develop an optimal network of biomass delivery chains techno-economic spatial model that enables the optimal design and allocation of biomass delivery chains (at national level) based on the minimizatio emissions of the full supply chain taking account economies of scale, in order to meet certain demand. LocaGIStics is a regional assessment tool for biomass delivery chains. This tool can support the user to design optimal biomass deliver level and analyze in a comparative way (for different biomass delivery chains) the spatial implications and the environmental and economic performance. It will take account of the biomass cost options and novel logistical concepts. formalized stepwise approach for implementing optimal design of national and regional their economic and GHG performance . the functionality of and the relation between tools. BeWhere and LocaGIStics are closely ked EU-wide and national strategies to chains. The basis of this tool is a delivery chains and networks at regional cost-supply, the conversion and pre-treatment technology
