In recent years, research has shown that biomass can be a source of energy to replace fossil fuels and effectively reduce current environmental crises. Researchers have studied how biofuels are supplied through the oil supply chain to achieve tangible results. This paper presents an optimization model for the gas-oil and biodiesel supply chains suggesting the optimization of both supply chains simultaneously for the first time. The proposed model deals with the connection points of two supply chains and determines the two chains’ connection points by considering two economic and environmental objective functions. The model can be used to make decisions on issues such as location, allocation, production planning, inventory management, capacity expansion, and so forth. The proposed programming model’s performance has been studied through a real case study in Iran and the sensitivity analyses have been performed. The ε-constraint method was used to solve the multi-objective model. The proposed model is expected to be effective in the future management of countries’ fuel sources, particularly to be used as an alternative to fossil fuels. Also, this research can provide a basis for more extensive research on fuel supply chain integration.

“…Similarly, a multistage stochastic model of a microalgae-based biofuel supply chain has been proposed. 22 However, varying geographical features, climatic conditions, and the availability of natural resources can limit the production of a particular type of biomass in different locations. Even if all conditions are met, the amount of the produced energy may be insufficient.…”

As the global climate crisis worsens and fossil fuels deplete, renewable energy sources have become more appealing. Biofuel is one of the promising sources produced from multiple biomass sources, as long as it does not compromise food security. In this direction, a multiperiod mixed-integer linear programming model incorporating three types of biomass simultaneously is developed to provide a second- and third-generation biofuel supply chain. The proposed model minimizes the total annualized cost by selecting raw materials, locating production facilities, placing storage facilities, and identifying optimal material flows by defining a deference path for each feedstock. A case study addressing bioethanol production in South Korea was then conducted to evaluate the performance of the developed model; the results demonstrated a clear reduction in the total annualized cost by incorporating multiple feedstocks. Using multiple feedstocks allowed for the total ethanol demand of South Korea to be met using harvested biomass, thereby drastically reducing import costs. Refinery costs accounted for the large majority of the remaining costs. A sensitivity analysis was also conducted to assess the effect of uncertainty associated with some economic and production parameters.

“…Babazadeh developed a mathematical model to minimize costs and carbon emissions in a bioenergy supply chain considering deep uncertainty. In a recent study through GIS utilization, Kang et al offered a sustainable microalgae-based BSC to minimize total cost, in which environmental aspects are considered in the economic objective function. With the aim of minimizing total costs and total GHG emissions, Nodooshan et al introduced an algal-based BSC network and considered several pathways for production.…”

In this paper, a multiperiod, multiobjective, and multiproduct second-generation biodiesel supply chain network is innovated, taking into account sustainable development and international resources and demand. The proposed model maximizes the total profit and positive social issues and minimizes the harmful environmental consequences of the network. Furthermore, as trade is nowadays considered to be an important issue on an international scale, economic globalization is also considered in the present study by expanding the operational activities of supplying feedstocks and selling final products worldwide. The model is validated through real data collected within Iran and some Asian countries and solved by the interactive fuzzy programming method. The experimental results verify the efficiency of the model for countries that have the capacity to produce inedible-based biofuel. As a result, the highest share of the revenues is earmarked for international biodiesel sales (80%), which indicates that globalization can increase the profit to a great extent.
