| Abstract: | This aim of this thesis is to investigate the feasibility of importing feedstock from Romania and Poland to the Netherlands. It has to be feasible from a financial and environmental perspective for HoSt. Problem definition HoSt, a company in the waste-to-energy sector that specializes in transforming biomass to biogas, has the goal that 40% of the revenue comes from installation in own management, this means that HoSt has to build more installations to have in own management. Installations in own management are installations that are operated by HoSt itself and not by a third party. The biggest problem with this is that there is not enough feedstock available in the Netherlands to build more installations. So the core problem that HoSt encounters is that there is not enough feedstock available in the Netherlands. Therefore, HoSt wants to know the feasibility of importing feedstock to process it here in the Netherlands, specifically the newly proposed site in Waalwijk, known as Wabico 2.0. The main research question answered in this thesis is: How financially and environmentally feasible is it for HoSt to import feedstock streams from Poland and Romania to Waalwijk? |
