Abstract

This chapter focuses on the typical stages of biomass supply chains that occur between the point of harvesting and final consumption. Firstly, the harvesting methods depend on the feedstock; in many supply chains, there are options to harvest in whole or chipped form, with there being trade-offs further down the supply chain in regard to how they are stored, processed, and finally transported. This chapter also provides some typical fuel consumption figures for harvesting, processing, and storing biomass. Finally, the GHG emissions of road, rail, and marine transport of transporting different biomass types are compared.
