Distributing Cost Drivers to Geographical Study Area

Accordingly, a major aspect of this report is to analyse the structure of logistics costs as well as main cost drivers.

In order to transfer and allocate these data to the geographical study area in BioBoost (EU 25 + Switzerland), major cost drivers are identified through the cost calculations.

Storage is a major cost driver in biomass logistics.

Taking the mean values of each cost element introduced in Table 25, the following major cost drivers can be identified: depreciation, maintenance costs, labour costs and fuel costs.

First of all, total annual direct costs are computed for each vehicle-trailer combination by means of the cost elements depicted above.

Taking the mean values of each cost element introduced in Table 25, the following major cost drivers can be identified: depreciation, maintenance costs, labour costs and fuel costs.

Accordingly, this set of cost elements are further used to allocate transport costs to the study area.
