Abstract

BIOMET is an interactive simulation model that is used to analyze specific biomass and methane production systems. The system model is composed of crop growth models, harvesting, transportation, conversion and economic submodels. By use of menus the users can configure the structure and set selected parameters of the system to analyze the effects of variables within the component models. For example, simulations of a water hyacinth system resulted in yields of 63, 48 and 37 Mg ha−1 year −1 for different harvest schedules. For Napiergrass, unit methane costs were $3·04, $2·86 and $2·98 for various yields of biomass.
