Biomass wastes offer immense potential as a renewable energy source, holding the promise to replace fossil fuels for heat and energy generation, in particular for decentralized power production. Furthermore, the utilization of biomass promotes circular economy by enabling the conversion of local resources into useful products and energy. However, the conversion of biomass into end-use products and heat/energy is a complex process with multiple pathways, such as fluidized bed gasification, a well-established and efficient method for converting coal and biomass into heat. Despite its merits, this process is currently limited to industrial applications and encounters certain limitations and obstacles. Notably, the low energy density of biomass wastes and downstream pipe contamination from tar and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) growth poses significant technological challenges. Nonetheless, a roadmap has been developed to guide the widespread adoption of fluidized bed gasification of biomass for decentralized power generation and climate mitigation. This book chapter delves into the opportunities and challenges of fluidized bed gasification as a viable option for decentralized power generation and climate mitigation through biomass waste conversion. The significance of well-crafted policies supporting renewable energy sources and optimizing fluidized bed gasifiers to achieve desirable end products are also emphasized.

“…Multi-objective Optimization: Simulation models are being created to facilitate multiobjective optimization, which considers a few competing goals, including minimizing costs, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and maximizing social effect. These models make use of optimization algorithms that can spot trade-offs and Pareto-optimal solutions, assisting decision-makers in navigating challenging decision environments and selecting efficient and sustainable supply chain designs [83,84].…”

Residual biomass is a reliable source of energy and hence requires effective supply chain management for optimal performance and sustainability. While there are various studies on this recent trend, a comprehensive review of the literature on simulation-based modeling of the supply chain for residual agroforestry biomass is lacking. This study aims to present a systematic review of relevant literature surrounding residual agroforestry supply chain simulation insights and directions. The systematic literature review was carried out in accordance with PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) 2020 standards and intends to answer the research questions based on (1) Key Performance Indicators (KPI); (2) Simulation techniques; and (3) Efficient supply chain. A search of the Science Direct, SCOPUS, and UA EBSCO databases was conducted using the appropriate keywords combination. The databases were searched, and a total of 1617 papers were appraised automatically. Subsequently, the titles, keywords, and abstracts of 172 papers were examined. Following the full-text analysis, 20 papers in addition to 27 articles taken from other sources matched the requirements for study inclusion. The publications accessed reveals that simulation-based techniques will optimize the supply chain for residual biomass when applied.
