Abstract: The global challenge of where to locate production and distribution facilities for logistics goods is discussed fiercely on a corporate and political level. However, the fact that ecological and economic expenditure need to be reduced by the appropriate choice of location is undisputable. Yet there is a lack of comprehensive and transferable models for the location decision according to different types of distribution and production facilities. In order to clarify the described problem and to prove the models the processes of the consolidation of biomass should be taken into account as an exemplary model for energy production. Furthermore, in the paper is given a forecast of probably topics of common research activities on the field of resource efficiency and sustainability. This should open a scientific discussion process between the members of the CECOL.
