"Bio-based chemicals and bioenergy production: long-term prospective analysis using a TIMES approach"
Résumé
Bio-based chemistry and bioenergy are both synergetic – considering integrated biorefinery facilities – and competing for the same biomass feedstock. To consider the closely linked future development of these two sectors in the French context, we use a TIMES approach. It consists in describing techno-economically the full production chain and minimizing the total discounted cost. The aim of this paper is to analyze their relative development under different policy incentives and biomass supply scenario.
