New Methods for Assessing Sustainability of Wood-Burning Energy Facilities: Combining Historical and Spatial Approaches

Abstract: Methods to assess wood-based bioenergy projects have tended to focus on technological and physical constraints. Less is known about how longer-term environmental, economic, and social systems—the three pillars of sustainable development—have influenced technological development in the context of woody biomass energy. This research offers new methods for assessing the sustainability of wood-based energy projects by combining spatial analysis, semi-structured interviews, and archival data analysis.

“…The need to consider broader societal concerns and behaviour have led to the emergence of new research approaches that seek to combine different kinds of technical and societal knowledge by using both quantitative and qualitative research methods. Combining, or integrating, both research methods is viewed as more comprehensive in providing information and support for addressing sustainability in decision making [9]. The ways in which qualitative and quantitative research practices can inform one another vary greatly in form and extent.…”
