System, method, computer programme and data carrier for managing the supply chain of biomass intended for use as a fuel sustainable energy production

摘要

A system and a method for electronically monitoring and managing the supply chain of biomass intended for use as a fuel in the production of energy, in particular electric energy, characterized by:at least one electronic database (61) coupled with the communication network, andat least one computer (60) coupled with a communication network (62), which comprises means for receiving and processing data regarding aspects of the supply chain that affect the quality of the biomass, including physical and chemical properties of the biomass, and recording said data in the database (61), andmeans (60) for verifying compliance with criteria regarding the quality of the biomass as laid down within the supply chain on the basis of data recorded in the database.
