The spatial fragmentation of different biomass sources in one or more regions makes design and assessment of sustainable biomass delivery chains rather complicated. This paper presents a GIS tool that supports the design and facilitates a sustainability assessment of biomass delivery chains at a regional level, in terms of the regional availability of resources, costs, logistics and spatial and environmental implications. Green House Gas (GHG) efficiency targets are part of it.
