BioSpaceOpt - Regional integrative assessment of bioenergy utilisation paths based on spatial aspects - development of a model framework and a case study

01.03.2010 - 31.12.2011

Research funding project

For the illustration, assessment and optimisation of biomass utilisation paths ranging from the availability of biomass cultivation areas to the utilisation as food or energy a geographically explicit modelling framework is developed. The framework includes climatological, economical, social and ecological aspects and allows for the generation of scenarios regarding future developments with special focus on climate change. An exemplary implementation is carried out for the region of Sauwald as a case study.
