Storage & Transportation Committees
Ensuring Reliable and Sustainable Biomass Logistics
Committee Objectives
IBEC’s Storage & Transportation Committees focus on developing best practices and innovative solutions for biomass handling, storage, and transportation logistics. They address challenges such as biomass’s low energy density, self-heating risks, emissions from transport, and effective multi-modal freight systems to maintain biomass quality and safety.
Key Areas of Work
- Safe storage methods minimizing fire and health hazards from biofuels.
- Optimizing transport modes including trucking, rail, shipping, and pipelines balancing cost-efficiency and environmental impact.
- Developing infrastructure for biomass terminals and transfer stations enabling seamless logistics from feedstock origins to end users.
- Emission reduction strategies for transport vehicles and logistics operations to improve sustainability across supply chains.
Collaborative Industry Engagement
Committees engage logistics providers, technology developers, environmental experts, and policymakers to advance standards, regulations, and innovative technologies supporting efficient and sustainable biomass supply chains globally.
Join the International Biomass Energy Council’s global network of innovators, policymakers, researchers, and investors championing biomass solutions that power a sustainable and resilient world.
