“…Effective design, planning and management of forest biomass energy plants play a critical role in reducing the energy generation cost and making it a viable energy source (Shabani et al 2014). Recent advances in computational tools have made possible to build mathematical models for analysis and optimisation of complex supply systems (Azadeh et al 2014). Many approaches have been used to simulate and optimise specific biomass supply chains, to get a better understanding of the cost reductions that could result from the implementation of more efficient logistics operations while ensuring a reliable and sustainable supply of forest fuel (Rentizelas et al 2009).…”

“…Constraint set (26) indicates that if final market m is selected (i.e., E m ¼ 1), the sum of the flow of biodiesel shipped to that market should be between the maximum and minimum demand. Constrain set (27) ensures that the total biodiesel production in all production facilities is not less than the target demand in the entire nation.…”

This paper describes the development of a model to comprehensively assess the sustainability impacts of producing lignocellulosic bioethanol from various types of municipal organic wastes (MOWs) in Iceland: paper and paperboard, timber and wood and garden waste. The tool integrates significant economic, energy, environmental and technical aspects to analyse and rank twelve systems using the most common pretreatment technologies: dilute acid, dilute alkali, hot water and steam explosion. The results show that among the MOWs, paper and paperboard have higher positive rankings under most assessments. Steam explosion is also ranked at the top from the economic, energy and environmental perspectives, followed by the hot water method for paper and timber wastes. Finally, a potential evaluation of total wastes and bioethanol production in Iceland is carried out. The results show that the average production of lignocellulosic bioethanol in 2015 could be 12.5, 11 and 3 thousand tons from paper, timber and garden wastes, respectively, and that production could reach about 15.9, 13.7 and 3.7 thousand tons, respectively, by 2030.
