    Abstract

    Terminals are needed to balance temporal differences of supply and demand over time in the supply chain. In biomass logistics, the need for terminals is the highest when the peak seasons of heating and harvests are short and non-simultaneous. Terminal solutions are casedependent and based on different factors.
