Bioenergy market supply chains
Xiaoqian XU, Robert PRINZ, Blas MOLA-YUDEGO
Summary
Bioenergy products are produced and delivered from the upstream to downstream. In bioenergy market supply chains, feedstocks come from plantations or residues in upstream. Different bioenergy products could be produced for power generation, heating, or other use in downstream. There are many supply chains for sellers to deliver bioenergy products to consumers. Different factors in the supply chains could influence the stability of the bioenergy market. Policies as instruments for operating bioenergy market in four Asian countries are to be presented in the lecture.
Objectives
This session focuses on:
- Bioenergy supply from the upstream, midstream and downstream.
- Examples in different supply chains.
- Influencing factors of market supply.
- Policies implement in four Asian counties.
