To examine policy issues related to optimizing fibre use in British Columbia, the authors developed a regional transportation model for forest products in the province called the fibre allocation and transport model. In this model, the province is split into the British Columbia provincial forest districts, and the authors then define fibre supply, demand from processors, and final demand in each district as well as outside of the province. The main purpose of the report is twofold: 1) to describe the current structure of the model, and 2) to illustrate the types of questions that can be addressed with the model through an assessment of two scenarios where bioenergy capacity is increased.--Document.
