Policies for a long-term and sustainable raw material supply of forest biomass
A long-term and sustainable raw material supply of forest biomass is affected by policy instruments, but also by the behavior of different categories of forest-owners as well as by market characteristics via the supply and demand of different assortments of forest biomass. The project analyzes the consequences of the complex interaction between changes in these variables on raw material supply.
The project develops new and innovative methods to be able to provide holistic and comprehensive insights for a long-term and sustainable supply of raw materials. Time-dynamic and spatial development are presented in scenario descriptions and analyzed from a social science perspective, something that is missing today.
The project is based on the latest findings in the social science research area to be able to give integrated, robust and quantified recommendations to various decision-makers from a systems perspective.
