Feedstock Assessments
Answering questions about feedstock supply is one of the greatest challenges in the development of any large biomass facility. BioResource Management, Inc. brings over thirty years of experience in answering these questions for project developers, landowners, investors and lenders. BRM also has a unique experience in the industry: it has gone beyond generating analyses and reports to performing long term delivery of feedstock that meets estimated pricing.
This BRM approach to supply analysis provides project developers and others with a logical progression of increasingly detailed information on biomass feedstock supplies, based on the following general questions:
Phase I: Resource Potential -Is sufficient biomass feedstock available in the project site’s supply area?
Phase II: Local Biomass Industry-What is the status of the current biomass producing and processing industry and what are current volumes and pricing for biomass feedstock?
Phase III: Long-Term Supply Strategies-How stable and sustainable is the supply of feedstock across the project’s lifetime?
These are explained in more detail under Consulting Services
