Research Overview, Gaps, and Recommendations

Modeling biomass supply and logistics has been included both directly and indirectly in European research and several initiatives have taken place through the last 15 years. Research has evolved from narrow assessments covering single or a few feedstock types and specific regions to harmonized approaches with consistent algorithms applied across Europe at different regional and temporal scales.The aim of this chapter is to provide an overview of research work in the area, identify gaps in research knowledge, and provide recommendations for future to research in the field of modeling biomass supply and logistics
