“…There has been a focus on sustainable food supply chain, an obvious shift from the conventional food supply chain, which prioritize interaction between local growers and customers, promoting openness, robustness, adaptability, resilience within the food chain (Birtalan et al, 2021). Several studies provided useful solutions for enhancing Food supply chain performance and measured the interactions between food, energy, and water in the various Food supply chain sectors (Al‐Ansari et al, 2015; Keyhanpour et al, 2021; Li et al, 2019; You et al, 2021). Food supply chain activities demand large amounts of energy, and quite often, food production is held responsible for significant Greenhouse emissions (Carlsson‐Kanyama et al, 2003; Vermeulen et al, 2012), some studies have been undertaken to understand the energy efficiency indicators currently practiced in industry and how technology interventions drive energy efficiencies in food production and distribution networks (El Jaouhari & Hamidi, 2024; Zhang et al, 2024).…”

Recently, there has been growing interest among scholars and industry professionals in understanding how agro‐food supply chains can shift from a linear to a circular model. This involves managing waste, recovering resources, and adopting sustainable practices. However, knowledge on circular economies in agro‐food supply chains is scattered, with limited comprehensive studies available. To address this gap, our study conducts a bibliometric and network analysis of 364 documents from the Scopus database. We identify influential authors, contributing countries and journals, and most cited documents. Additionally, we use network analysis to visualize connections between authors and keywords, providing insights into emerging trends and critical research areas. We also uncover important keywords and themes, laying a foundation for future research directions. Overall, our study offers a comprehensive overview, serving as a basis for further exploration in this field.

“…König et al (2019) [66] applied a superstructure approach to identify the optimal routes (biofuels and/or e-fuels) to meet the energy demand from residual lignocellulosic biomass and waste vegetable oil. Recently, You et al (2021) [67] proposed a new optimization model to simultaneously identify the optimal process configuration of a bioethanol production plant and the optimal bioethanol supply network. Although the studies mentioned above are of undoubted interest, they only considered the optimization of biofuels and not of other value-added products.…”

Spain, in the framework of the European Green Deal, has set ambitious climate and energy goals for 2030. Lignocellulosic biorefineries can make a strong contribution to these goals; however, advanced biofuels generally cannot be produced in a profitable way compared to fossil and first-generation fuels. To address this problem, the efficient production of a wide range of bioproducts, not only biofuels and bioenergy, may be the solution. Therefore, a systematic evaluation of the near-term economic potential bio-building blocks (xylitol, sorbitol, succinic, glutamic, glucaric, levulinic, lactic, and itaconic acids) is presented. Many possible combinations of feedstock and conversion technologies can be considered feasible pathways to manufacture advanced biofuels and bio-based building blocks. To map the optimal groups of technologies in the framework of Spain’s biorefineries, we apply a methodology based on a network optimization approach that combines minimum cost and energy criteria together with feedstock availability and demand constraints. The feedstocks analyzed are pine and eucalyptus residues and olive tree pruning wastes, being three largely available agroforesty residues in Spain. The results show that building blocks show good economic and energy performance compared to advanced transportation biofuels, and although their demand is much lower, they should be considered to improve the profitability of biorefineries. Secondly, advanced gasoline, bioethanol, hydrogen, and building blocks demands can be satisfied with pine, eucalyptus, and olive residues available in Spain. Finally, lactic acid production is profitable, but the remaining routes do not reach the break-even point, suggesting that further research is still needed.
