Fig. 2: Material flow through the biofuel supply chain network.

From: Large-scale spatially explicit analysis of carbon capture at cellulosic biorefineries

Fig. 2

Modelling notation showing the potential ways biomass iIF, intermediates iIID, byproducts iIB and biofuel iIP flow through the three types of node in the biofuel supply chain: harvesting sites j, pre-processing depots k and biorefineries l. Solid lines represent shipments Fi,*,*,q,t, dash dotted lines represent material consumption and dotted lines represent material production. Yi,f,t represents the biomass yield as a result of land management (details in Methods) for fields within a harvesting site. Hi,j,t is the actual amount harvested and \({C}_{l,m,t}\!^\mathrm{SEQ}\) is the amount of CO2 sequestered with CCS technology.
