Case Studies on Biofuel Supply Logistics for Forest Bioenergy in China

Abstract

In China, the poor supply logistic and the high feedstock cost are the most critical constraints to the development of forest bioenergy. The aim of this study is to identify the supply logistic from forest land to the final delivery for bioenergy utilization. A case study approach was used to collect the relevant information and data. And two different supply logistics of wood biofuel were designed for two locations in Inner Mongolia, one was from collective forests and the other was from state-owned forests.
