    I think you can solve this problem nicely by moving everything to
    rasters. There is the concept of a "cost" raster that totals how
    difficult it is to go from a certain start point to anywhere else in
    the region. In your case, instead of total "difficulty" you would
    total potential biomass. You would create a raster showing the total
    biomass "collected" by starting at each biogas plant.<br>
    <br>
    This could be done with the GRASS module r.cost.  See [1].<br>
    Your polygon layer of biogas potential would be imported into GRASS,
    then converted to a raster (v.to.rast). You would also import the
    point layer of plants into GRASS as a point vector. Then run the
    module with the biogas potential as the input parameter, and the
    plants as the "start_points". And you would set a value for the
    "max_cost" parameter which would be the maximum biomass any plants
    needs. Again, the output raster would represent the total amount of
    biomass accumulated when starting from any of the plants.<br>
    <br>
    Hope that helps    <br>
