Abstract

Biomass exploitation asks for intelligent management strategies for linking multiple alternatives of exploitation as well as alternative paths in order to pro- duce (multiple) products and energy (directly used or stored) at the same time. By means of loose (and therefore flexibly alterable) coupling, a regional network of (basically) small players is formed, that offers an extensible portfolio of processes, which can be used in flexible combination.
