What are the needs of the transportation sector and what are the biomass resources available to satisfy the needs of the transportation sector in Switzerland ?

Transportation in Switzerland

  • Type of transportation systems (heavy load, aviation, private and public vehicules)
  • Service definition (km p.p)
  • Energy needs (MJ/km -  each type)

Biomass Resources Characterization 

  • Heating value (MJ/kg ; MJ/m3)
  • Composition (Oil content; ultimate and biochemical analysis)
  • Land use (MJ/ha y)
  • Supply Chain (MJ consumed/MJ at pump) 
  • Environmental Impact 

This first task aim at creating in your report a table of the resources available. Define the rows and columns of the table, use references and do not forget physical units.
