This review examines the barriers to economic viability in North American forest bioenergy supply chains and explores strategies for improvement.
Systematic review of 237 peer-reviewed studies and technical reports from 2000 to 2025.
Analysis of various feedstock types, including logging residues and woody biomass.
Identification of bottlenecks and promising pathways to scale bioenergy supply chains.
Identified delivered cost, feedstock quality control, and geographic mismatch as primary barriers.
Depot-based preprocessing and cascading utilization strategies proposed as effective near-term solutions.
AI-enabled optimization and digital twin modeling noted for their potential to enhance supply chain efficiency.
