This paper considers how the adoption
of sweeping policies impact on other actors presently supplying or utilizing woody biomass
resources. The SAWMILL sector (18 sawmills), BOARD sector, 3 board plants, and ENERGY sector (3 peat
fired power stations) were included in a Linear Programming (LP) based transportation study. Specific
transport costs between each residue producing sawmill and each board and energy plant were modeled
and used in finding the minimum delivered cost for a number of scenarios. Scenario 2015 represented the
status quo, while Scenario 2030 represented a situation with 30% co-firing with woody biomass equivalents
in the energy plants. For each time horizon, the problem was solved from the perspective of society
at large (GLOBAL), for the benefit of the board sector (BOARD) or with emphasis on minimizing the cost to
the energy sector (ENERGY).
