Goals for Developing Web‐based GIS Tools for Bioenergy AssessmentBioenergy Assessment
Intended audience: entrepreneurs, policy makers, economic development professionals, community organizations and the general public
Provide educational resources for analyzing opportunities and y g ppconstraints that influence the siting of bioenergy facilities at local and regional scales
Generate preliminary assessments of bioenergy site suitability (not a substitute for a feasibility study)
Overcome some of the common problems facing novice GIS‐users (learning curve, cost, data availability)
Assist in meeting the information needs of governments engaged in comprehensive planning or assessing energy independence goals
How can GIS aid in Analyzing Bioenergy Opportunities and Challenges? pp g
• Basic Inventory and Location Analysis –Where are the State’s biomass resources, CAFO’s, landfills, water treatment plants, channel industries, etc. located and what are their attributes?
M i C i Wh i l h l i d i d• Mapping Concentrations –Where are potential channel industries and feedstocks concentrated? Are there different feedstocks that are co‐located in the same region that could provide opportunities?
• Perform Site Suitability Analysis – Based on transportation networks, access to feedstocks, proximity to suppliers, etc., where are there opportunities for producing bioenergy?
• Provide maps and geospatial data for other socio‐economic and i l i l h b denvironmental impact analyses – How might bioenergy production in
an area influence environmental quality? Impact the local economy?
