bioenergy system dynamics

Post by Vishah »

Dear all,

I am interested in developing a model on bionergy systems but i find very few articles in this area using SD. Can anyone please help if you have sample models or articles.
I will really appreciate.

Kind regards,

What aspects do you want to model? The technology of how to create bioenergy?, or the ecological/economic effects? (biofuel may deplete land that was used for food production, and may have an effect of increasing world hunger)

There's an MIT model on this page that gives insight into the Economic challenges.

As always, the model is incomplete, and thus reflects the boundaries posed by the inquiry. This model excludes considerations of soil, food, etc.
