The sustainability assessment of biomass plant and
biorefineries for regional and national policies

Ecomondo 2011. Proceedings (Rimini, 3-6 novembre
2011) (ISBN:8838769869) )
This work concerns an assessment scheme of the
biorefineries and the use of energy from biomass according to
sustainability criteria. The proposed assessment scheme considers 4
threshold requirements and 7 bonus requirements. The main
requirement meet the standard of the Renewable Energy Directive
2009/28/CE (RED) concerning the green house gases (GHG)savings.
According to this standard the GHG saving shall be at least 35%.
The work highlights those conditions occurring along the production
pathway which is necessary to control in order to fulfill the GHG
criteria.
