D3.5 Formalized stepwise approach for implementing logistical concepts using BeWhere and LocaGIStics

This deliverable describes a formalizlogistical concepts in the practicalchains and for assessing theiBeWhere and LocaGIStics. It describesthese two logistical assessment toolsinterlinked so that LocaGIStics can further refine and detail the outcomes of theBeWhere model and that the BeWhere model can use the outcome of theLocaGIStics model to modify their calculations if needed.The BeWhere model supports the development of EUdevelop an optimal network of biomass delivery chainstechno-economic spatial model that enables the optimal design and allocation ofbiomass delivery chains (at national level) based on the minimizatioemissions of the full supply chain taking account economies of scale, in order to meetcertain demand.LocaGIStics is a regional assessment tool for biomass delivery chains. This tool cansupport the user to design optimal biomass deliverlevel and analyze in a comparative way (for different biomass delivery chains) thespatial implications and the environmental and economic performance. It will takeaccount of the biomass costoptions and novel logistical concepts.formalized stepwise approach for implementing optimaldesign of national and regionaltheir economic and GHG performance. the functionality of and the relation betweentools.
