Research on a Biomass Accounting Framework as a Biomass Town Assessment and Information Provision Tool

Abstract

In this research biomass accounting framework, which summarizes economic and environmental performance data in the form of an accounting table, was suggested in order to provide the information on the biomass town achievements in general as well on the individual biomass-related activities. Differently from scenario analysis and simulation tools, developed to support biomass town planning process, biomass accounting is aimed at assisting evaluation of current situation and increasing transparency of biomass-related decision-making process.
