An important factor influencing the cost of feedstock LCB
feedstock delivered to a conversion facility is dry matter (DM)
losses during storage [13]. After feedstock is stored, DM losses
may cause substantial reductions in both feedstock quantity
and quality, which decreases efficiency of LCB storage and
increases feedstock cost for conversion facilities [14e21].
Increased LCB feedstock production to offset storage losses
could increase greenhouse gas emissions in LCB feedstock
supply chain [22]. Thus, assessing storage DM losses of LCB
feedstock processed by alternative and/or innovative technologies
in feedstock logistics system is important. Such
knowledge is relevant in improving efficiency of the LCB
feedstock logistics and reducing the cost of producing LCB
biofuels.
