Abstract
A Bio-hub refers to an intermediate place where farmers/growers can deliver their by-products (such as straw, harvesting residues, etc.) to be processed into some commodities (e.g. dried wood, pellets, etc.) that can yield higher quality and values along the supply chain (Kulisic et al. 2019). Biohub concept can provide feedstock collection, intermediate pretreatment and storage – can be a promising tool to deal with the interface between supply chains and markets they serve. It is best to aim for a few commodity products, with well-defined quality criteria (IEA Bioenergy, 2019). IEA Task 43 has planned to support the development and delivery of the biohub development program with key biohub examples to ensure different countries and regions are represented and seek unique approaches to increasing quality, reliability, value and quantity. To combine the SWOT analysis results of the biomass case study results from different international regions a unique web-based dashboard was developed in this project. This dashboard can help the users understanding the strength, weaknesses and overall sustainability of the bio-hub projects. Such a web-based tool can provide a single access point that can facilitate comparison and bring attention more easily on a wide range of Task43 outputs. The dashboard is available to the users for free at https://arcg.is/qLqaK
