Southeast Analysis | Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics

BioFLAME, a spatial optimization model, selects the locations for biomass using two criteria, demand level and minimum delivered biomass cost. Based on an initial site suitability analysis of potential sites, industrial parks with 10 acres or more available for sale are selected and located within the Southeast. Using these candidate sites as potential sites and the 2016 billion ton study most likely scenario developed by ForSEAM as the potential supply, the model analyzes all candidate sites for the prespecified demand and selects the one with least cost. These forest residues are removed from the available supply and the process starts over to select the next potential facility.

In the southeast U.S. analysis there are 10 alternative analyses. These include differences in blends and in biorefinery size. All the analyses have some pine ranging from 100% to 25% mixture with switchgrass.
