Abstract
Finding a suitable biomass feedstock for conversion to energy or refining to bio-based products is the first step of a bio-based supply chain. It is a prerequisite before establishing any conversion facility to review the four W's in the overall approach: What type of biomass, What quantities it is available at What time of the year, and What properties does it have? Proper logistic solutions must be implemented to establish economic feasible and environmental sustainable value-added chains using crop and plant biomass as feedstock. Afterward, valuable compounds can be extracted, and/or biomass can be used as feedstock for fermentation processes.
