tailieunhanh - The green and blue water footprint of paper products: Methodological considerations and quantification

Developing the biomass resource base for industrial sector applications requires a reliable supply of feedstock and processing technologies that are adapted to these feedstocks. Both quantity and quality of feedstock have relevance, while the geographical and physical structure of the resource generally determines the spatial extent of market development. A few examples here serve to illustrate the alternative resource development paths. The first is the case of sugarcane, which has one of the widest potential product portfolios of any industrial crop, and has long been prominent from an energy industry perspective due to the ready availability of fibrous bagasse at the factory site. The second is coconut, which offers a tremendous resource base that remains largely unexploited due partly to difficulties in gathering its residues. The third example . | . van Oel .
