Economic and energy efficiency assessment of biomass harvesting at a northern off-grid community: a case study of Barren Lands First Nation at Brochet, Manitoba, Canada.
This study was the first to analyze the cost and energy requirements to harvest and transport wood-biomass to an off-grid community, namely Brochet, Manitoba, for the purpose of bioenergy. The study takes the unique local conditions and circumstances of a remote northern off-grid community into cons...
