The overall goal of this research is to investigate the logistics of agricultural biomass in Ontario, Canada using the Integrated Biomass Supply Analysis and Logistics Model (IBSAL). The supply of corn stover to the Ontario Power Generation (OPG) power plant in Lambton is simulated. This coal-fired power plant is currently not operating and there are no active plans by OPG to fuel it with biomass. Rather, this scenario is considered only to demonstrate the application of the IBSAL Model to this type of scenario. Here, five scenarios of delivering corn stover to the Lambton Generating Station (GS) power plant in Lambton Ontario are modeled: (1) truck transport from field edge to OPG (base scenario)
(2) farm to central storage located on the highway, then truck transport bales to OPG
(3) direct truck transport from farm (no-stacking) to OPG
(4) farm to a loading port on Lake Huron and from there on a barge to OPG
and (5) farm to a railhead and then to OPG by rail.
