In recent years, research has shown that biomass can be a source of energy to replace fossil fuels and effectively reduce current environmental crises. Researchers have studied how biofuels are supplied through the oil supply chain to achieve tangible results. This paper presents an optimization model for the gas-oil and biodiesel supply chains suggesting the optimization of both supply chains simultaneously for the first time. The proposed model deals with the connection points of two supply chains and determines the two chains’ connection points by considering two economic and environmental objective functions. The model can be used to make decisions on issues such as location, allocation, production planning, inventory management, capacity expansion, and so forth. The proposed programming model’s performance has been studied through a real case study in Iran and the sensitivity analyses have been performed. The ε-constraint method was used to solve the multi-objective model. The proposed model is expected to be effective in the future management of countries’ fuel sources, particularly to be used as an alternative to fossil fuels. Also, this research can provide a basis for more extensive research on fuel supply chain integration.

Technological development has enabled the production of new value-added products from lignocellulosic residues such as lignin. This has allowed the forest industry to diversify its product portfolio and maximize the economic returns from feedstock, while simultaneously working towards sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based products. Although previous research has explored industrial-scale production opportunities, many challenges persist, including the cost of woody biomass and its supply chain reliability. While numerous studies have addressed these issues, their emphasis has traditionally been on bioenergy, with little focus on biochemical, biomaterials, and bioproducts. This review seeks to address this gap through a systematic study of the work recently reported by researchers. A lot of work has been published from United States and Canada with an emphasis on bioenergy production (84.8%), 4.6% of the work is focused on biomass to materials and chemicals, and 10.6% addressed both. Between 2012 and 2015, the majority of published research focused on biomass to materials and chemicals and both biomass to energy and biomass to materials and chemicals. This fact highlights recent interests in diversified biorefinery portfolios. However, further work concerning forest biomass supply chain optimization and new high-value bio-based materials and chemicals is necessary.Key words: biomass to energy, biomass to materials and chemicals, economic optimization, lignocellulosic residues, value-added bio-based products.Résumé : Des avancées technologiques ont rendu possible la production de nouveaux produits à valeur ajoutée à partir de résidus lignocellulosiques tels que la lignine. Cela a permis à l'industrie forestière de diversifié sa gamme de produits et de maximiser les retombées économiques de la matière première tout en travaillant simultanément à développer des alternatives durables aux produits à base de pétrole. Bien que les travaux de recherche précédents aient exploré les opportunités de production à l'échelle industrielle, plusieurs défis persistent, incluant le coût de la biomasse ligneuse et la fiabilité de sa chaîne logistique. Alors que de nombreuses études se sont intéressées à ces questions, l'accent a traditionnellement été mis sur la bioénergie et très peu sur les bioproduits : produits biochimiques et biomatériaux. Cette revue de littérature vise à combler cette lacune par le biais d'une étude systématique des travaux récemment publiés par les chercheurs. Beaucoup de travaux publiés aux États-Unis et au Canada mettent l'accent sur la production de bioénergie (84,8 %), 4,6 % des travaux portent sur la transformation de la biomasse en matériaux et produits chimiques et 10,6 % s'intéressent aux deux sujets. La majorité des travaux de recherche publiés entre 2012 et 2015 portent sur la transformation de la biomasse en matériaux et produits chimiques et sur les deux sujets, soit la transformation de la biomasse en énergie, matériaux et produits chimiques. Cela met en évidence l'intérêt récen...

“…Another development in the literature is the explicit treatment of the spatial dimension. To this effect, most modelling efforts used geographical information system (GIS)-based models that explicitly account for the spatial dimension [12][13][14][15][16][17], and/or a hybrid approach that uses a techno-economic routine of cost-minimization of the whole value-chain, all the while incorporating the spatial dimension explicitly [11,[18][19][20][21][22][23]. In Sweden, a number of studies have been carried out, which focused primarily on a spatially-explicit harvest cost model and/or hybrid models as discussed above [24][25][26].…”

The present paper introduces an integrated spatially explicit framework for assessing price impact on forestry markets in Sweden. The framework is based on the "soft-link" of a price determination model, the SpPDM model with the BeWhere Sweden model. The aim is to analyse the impacts of increased forest-based biofuel production for transportation within the Swedish context by 2030. To that effect, we develop scenarios analyses based on the simulations of successive biofuel production targets, under different assumptions concerning the competition intensity for forest biomass and the use of industrial by-products. The results suggest marginal impacts on the prices of forest biomass. The average across spatial-explicit prices varies from 0% to 2.8% across feedstocks and scenario types. However, the distribution of the spatial-explicit price impacts displays large variation, with price impacts reaching as high as 8.5%. We find that the pattern of spatial distribution of price impacts follows relatively well the spatial distribution of demand pressure. However, locations with the highest price impacts show a tendency of mismatch with the locations of the highest demand pressure (e.g. sawlogs). This is a counterintuitive conclusion compared to results from nonspatial economic models. The spatial-explicit structure of the framework developed, and its refined scale allows such results to be reported. Hence, from a policy-making perspective, careful analysis should be devoted to the locational linkages for forestry markets of increased biofuel production in Sweden.
