生物质在低碳经济中为能源供应做出贡献的潜力得到了很好的认识。然而，为了使该行业为英国的可持续发展做出全面贡献，具体的开采路线必须符合通常被认为代表可持续性测试的三套标准：市场的经济可行性和供应链运作的财政框架；环境表现，包括但不限于整个燃料循环的低二氧化碳排放；以及社会可接受性，使用生物质的好处被认为超过了任何负面的社会影响。本文介绍了一种建立生物能源系统评估的可持续性框架的方法，以便为决策者、规划者和生物能源产业提供实用的建议，从而支持不同尺度的政策制定和生物能源部署。该方法使用多标准决策分析(MCDA)和决策会议，以探索这样一个过程如何能够整合和调和不同利益相关者群体的利益和关切。(C)2007爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
The potential for biomass to contribute to energy supply in a low-carbon economy is well recognised. However, for the sector to contribute fully to sustainable development in the UK, specific exploitation routes must meet the three sets of criteria usually recognised as representing the tests for sustainability: economic viability in the market and fiscal framework within which the supply chain operates; environmental performance, including, but not limited to, low carbon dioxide emissions over the complete fuel cycle; and social acceptability, with the benefits of using biomass recognised as outweighing any negative social impacts. This paper describes an approach to developing a methodology to establish a sustainability framework for the assessment of bioenergy systems to provide practical advice for policy makers, planners and the bioenergy industry, and thus to support policy development and bioenergy deployment at different scales. The approach uses multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) and decision-conferencing, to explore how such a process is able to integrate and reconcile the interests and concerns of diverse stakeholder groups.
