“…Considering that only woody pellets from forestry residues have already successfully established technologies and markets for production and consumption in some European countries, it is necessary to focus on studying the pelletization of agricultural biomass, which is periodically planted and harvested and has a great energy potential especially in rural areas [7,8].…”

“…The impacts of RIN system on supply chain decisions are analyzed using game-theoretic models. Sun et al (2013) aimed to identify optimal management strategies for agri-biomass supply chains in a competitive environment. To this aim, a game model of a supply chain consisting of one supplier and two buyers is developed.…”

Energy production from biomass is an alternative and additive way to fossil fuel based energy production to reduce the dependency on limited fossil fuel sources and mitigate the harmful environmental impacts of these systems. One of the major challenges in establishing efficient renewable energy systems is the complex supply chain structure in an uncertain decision environment, various decisions to be made and different conflicting criteria/objectives. This study describes the key issues in decision making for biomass to energy supply chains such as decision levels, uncertainty and sustainability concepts. It also provides a comprehensive review and systematic classification of the current literature on decision making approaches for design, management and operation of biomass to energy supply chains. This study allows readers to identify the decision making methods that satisfy the problem specific requirements and offer a clear vision of the advances in the field.

The increasing growth in biofuel consumption induces further demand for different biomass feedstock. Competition for farmland use became an obstacle in producing biofuel since food products would be destined for energy rather than for human or animals. Nowadays, governments lay down regulations to encourage producing nonfood biomass which brought them huge costs. In this article, the long‐term behavior of parties is analyzed in a three player supply chain including farmers, biorefineries, and governments. The dynamic behavior of parties is modeled by using evolutionary game theory and the stable strategy of each party is derived by solving replicator dynamic equations. Finally, a numerical study is presented based on a real case in Iran to give a better understanding of the features of the game model. Sensitivity analyses on some key parameters such as price and governments' penalties leads to interesting managerial insights into long‐term strategies in the proposed supply chain. © 2019 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 38:e13122, 2019
