SOLID BIOMASS RESOURCE SUPPLY AND DEMAND

We seek the spatial and temporal availability of solid biomass resources in Mexico.

Our Strategic Objectives:

Determining the primary productivity of each biomass source or resource and its relationship to environmental variables, as well as determining the management of each given resource.

To calculate feasible production and environmental rates for each biomass source under different resource-managements systems.

To model biomass production and harvesting for energy.

To evaluate the costs and capabilities of various biomass transport technologies.
