Gain more insight into the quantity and quality of biomass sources and flows in your area
Feedstock availability and quality analyses are often required analyses for project developers and investors, e.g. to identify the potential in different regions or to determine the best location for setting up a new factory. BioGrowth Development has customizable methods to map various biomass sources worldwide. By combining data science techniques with a strong knowledge of plant growth processes, biomass feedstock properties (e.g. variability of moisture content, ash content and chemical composition) and conversion processes, it is possible to obtain a clear and realistic overview of different biomass sources and flows (e.g. woody or herbaceous biomass, biomass residues from agriculture and forestry, recyclable and circular biomass, etc.).
In addition to a quantitative approach in the mapping of biomass flows, BioGrowth Development also provides insight into which flows within the total volume meet the appropriate quality requirements for specific applications and for cascaded use in bioenergy, biorefinery and biomaterial domains.
This decision-supporting service aims at giving structured overview of the total and addressable amounts of biomass feedstocks, the choice of an optimal location and, if needed, insightful intel on all involved stakeholders (land owners, harvesters, processors, distributors, etc.) in the targeted regions or sectors. This may also entail legal aspects. Ultimately, this can help project developers and investors to decide in which region it is safe to invest, with the certainty that biomass supply of sufficient quantity and quality is available, sustainable and guaranteed for the long-term.

Cover crops and carbon credits
On September 29th, the seminar “Las cubiertas vegetales en el olivar como instrumento de la nueva PAC” (“Vegetable roofs in olive groves as an instrument of the new CAP”) – organized by the Agrupación de Sanidad Vegetal “Centro de España”, the Wageningen University and the governments of Holland and Castilla La Mancha – was held at the…
Carbon storage in the chain for woody biomass from the dry area of Rijkswaterstaat
The Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, DG Mobility, is investigating a possible role in the National Forest Strategy (LNV). One of the components of this exploration is more insight into the carbon storage that this possible contribution can make, both in the acreage and when used in products that remove the carbon from the…
Green chemistry from biomass
Discussions about the sustainability of woody biomass, which have been taking place in the Netherlands for some time now, are also increasingly making headlines elsewhere in Europe. Certainly when it comes to generating energy. With the increasing attention to green chemistry, the chemical sectors will also be affected sooner or later. This makes reliable certification…
