3-6-2　地域における木質バイオマス燃料利用の動学的最適化モデル分析

抄録

Woody biomass is regarded as carbon neutral and a renewable energy source that can contribute to sustainable energy supply. The purpose of this study is to develop an optimization model to analyze the rational use of woody biomass fuel in a region from the upstream of forest to the downstream of demand side. The thinning and the installation and operation of equipment are optimized to minimize the total cost over 25 years. The results showed that the behavior of transporting woody biomass and the selection of dehydration place would be influenced by the configuration of energy equipment in demand side. In particular, biomass-based cogeneration systems is expected to be highly effective to utilize woody biomass.
