Abstract

Green Bio-Refineries (GBRs) have economic and environmental potentials through changing land use from cereals to grass production and provision of grass-based protein feed for livestock production and other valuable byproducts.However, the potentials are dependent on local conditions of the GBRs, such as land productivity, environmental sensitivity and transport distances for feedstock as well as the regional economy which GBRs are a part of. In this paper, we compare the total (direct, indirect and induced) effects of different location choices of GBRs in Denmark at dfferent (municipal, regional, national) scales -a key step for decisions about development of GBRs from both investors' andauthorities' perspectives. We integrate a local life-cycle asessment (LCA), ageographic information system (GIS) analysis and an economic-environmental input-output (EEIO) based model (LINE) into a common framework (GIS-LCA-EEIO) We show that locating GBRs in Western Denmak, where the soils are primarily sandy and livestock  densities are high, generates higher socio-economic gains than in Eastern Denmark, where the soils are primarily and the concentrarions of livstock are lower. We conclude by sketching out priority areas for developing GBRs and discuss the policy implications of the results within the context of development of a bio-based economy.
