Optimizing biomass use for carbon storage and land use with the OptiBiU model

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Optimal biomass use in a circular bioeconomy requires a system perspective to guide decision‐making. The Optimizing Biomass Use (OptiBiU) model was developed for this purpose. The model distinguishes among primary biomass production, intermediate products, and biobased products, and incorporates recycling.
