| Abstract | The decentralised nature of biomass production and decentralised bioenergy production will greatly affect regional sustainability, rural economies, as well as altering the ecosystems services provided by the regional landscape (Dale et al., 2010, Robertson et al., 2008). For this reason using the regionalised approach for assessing bioenergy chains has been identified as one of the most appropriate scales for assessment (Hoffman & High- Pippert, 2010). The assessment of bioenergy and biofuel production chains is a complex task and accurate assessments must capture spatial variation in order to account for the impacts of bioenergy production (McKone et al., 2011). Life cycle analysis (LCA) is one of the most important assessment tools used for the promotion of bioenergy. However, there are a number of key challenges to produce an accurate and spatially representative life cycle assessment that can provide a sound scientific basis for evaluating regional bioenergy sustainability (McKone et al., 2011, Cherubini et al., 2009). The project presented here is part of a larger collaborative research study currently being conducted by the UFZ Bioenergy Systems Analysis (BEN) department and the Deutsches Biomasseforschungszentrum (DBFZ), both situated in Leipzig, Germany. The overall aim of the collaborative research is to establish a framework for sustainable bioenergy production in the “Central Germany” (CG) region, as a case study approach. The aim of this project is to produce a spatially dependent LCA for regional bioenergy production. The approach for developing this inventory is the focus of this paper. |
