摘要：Biofuel generation through second generation
technology is expected to lower emissions in
comparison to first generation biofuels as it allows
the use of a broad variety of organic resources as
feedstock. A spatially explicit mixed-integer programming
model has been built to assess the costs and the
emission balance of such fuels. It is used to find the
cost optimal locations of both ethanol and methanol
plants in Austria. Costs of the full supply chain are
regarded. The model includes forest woods as possible
feedstock for methanol or ethanol production
through gasification or fermentation respectively.
Revenues from selling heat, power and biogas as byproducts
of biofuel production are considered. The
results of the model indicate that biofuel production
through second generation technologies is competitive
to fossil fuels and that their use allows a decrease
in fuel emissions in Austria. For ethanoltechnology,
selling heat to district heating networks
can considerably decrease costs of production.1
