End user:Biomass management companies, ESCOs, Cooperatives / RESCoops, End users, Research Centers / Universities
Biomass yards
Summary:Geographical information system showing where the different biomass yards of the Netherlands surface are located. The user can click in each entry to obtain more useful information about that specific location.
Main objective:Biomass yards are establishments where a diversity of biomass flows, including organic residuals, are collected and processed in a business and environment-friendly way. Products from a biomass yard include biobased raw materials, fuels and compost products. Biomass yards are characterized by their economy of scale and applied quality assurance systems (including certification). They are regulated by license conditions that prevent nuisance to the environment (eg smell). The tool is up-dated every 3 months.
End user:Biomass producers, biomass management companies, ESCOs (specially in Netherlands)
