“…One of the methods that can be used to assess the environmental merits and demerits of a product is the life cycle assessment (LCA), which entails a complete evaluation and analysis of a product throughout its lifespan [3][4][5]. For instance, GHG emission and/or net energy requirement in biodiesel production is systematically quantified and compiled for every stage involved from the oilseeds plantation stage up to the combustion process of biodiesel to address issues on sustainability, climate change and global biodiversity [6]. The net energy balance is a primary factor to evaluate whether there is a loss or gain of energy for the biodiesel production.…”

Self-sustainability is a property of a system; a system is considered to be self-sustainable if it can sustain itself without external support in an observed period of time. If this property is mapped to a human settlement in context of resources (water, energy, food, etc.), it would describe a human settlement which is independent of external resources (like the national electrical grid or a central water distribution system), where such external resources are either not available, or not desirable.This article contributes to presenting the state-of-the-art overview of self-sustainability-related research. While self-sustainability as in the above described form was not a direct subject of research, there are several fields which are either related to, or could be of significant value to the self-sustainability research in this context. The extensive literature overview also showed no frameworks for modeling self-sustainable systems in the context of human settlements. Herein a motivation for using agent-based modeling and simulation techniques will be given.

“…Currently, the world attempts to be less dependent on oil-based energy. Many countries see bio-based energy as a possible (but not inevitable) alternative to minimise the impact of high oil prices on their economy [4,26]. The major technological transformation would bring about structural adjustments/changes in the economic setting of the energy innovation system which would be discussed in Section 4.…”
