This book is written for scientists and practitioners interested in
deepening their knowledge of the sustainable production of
bioenergy from wood in tropical and sub-tropical countries.
Utilising the value chain concept, this book outlines the necessary
aspects for managing sustainable bioenergy production. A wide range
of topics is covered including biomass localization, modelling and
upscaling, production management in woodlands and plantations, and
transport and logistics. Biomass quality and conversion pathways
are examined in order to match the conversion technology with the
available biomass. A section is dedicated to issues surrounding
sustainability. The issues, covered in a life-cycle assessment of
the bioenergy system, include socio-economic challenges, local
effects on water, biodiversity, nutrient-sustainability and global
impacts. Through this holistic approach and supporting examples
from tropical and sub-tropical countries, the reader is guided in
designing and implementing a value chain as the main management
instrument for sustainable wood.
