Notes

See V.a Biomatter to fuel conversion costs for how these costs are used in the 2050 pathways analysis.

The feedstocks are assumed to be straw, arisings from forestry and a fraction of household, commercial and industrial waste.

Biocrops are treated separately in biomass conversion 2nd generation energy crops to liquid cost data
