Economic and environmental optimization of a large scale sustainable dual feedstock lignocellulosic-based bioethanol supply chain in a stochastic environment

Assessing the economic performance of an environmental sustainable supply chain in reducing environmental externalities

“…It is evident from the literature that studies considering environmental issues in supply chains are popular (Osmani and Zhang, 2014;Leigh and Li, 2014;White and Lee, 2009). As for the integration of environmental issues through supply chain optimization, previous studies have employed different methods to evaluate environmental investment decisions.…”

Optimization methods applied to renewable and sustainable energy: A review

“…Their model not only maximize the profit, but also minimizes CO2 emission. Osmani and Zhang (2014) by providing an optimization model maximized profit and minimized carbon emissions and performed modeling for dual-feedstock lignocellulosic-based bioethanol supply chain by considering the uncertainty in prices and supply and demand. The first stage determines strategic decisions while tactical decisions are made by the second stage.…”

“…Osmani and Zhang [23] also considered a time horizon of one year but with only four seasons. Their model is specific for bio-ethanol from crop residues and woody biomass with uncertainty in the supply, demand and prices.…”

“…Most are restricted to a particular purpose: many are concerned with biofuels [18,19,20,22,23,24,27,29,30,31,32,33,36,37,41] …”
