Supply and demand
Agricultural methane and nitrous oxide emissions represent around 10–12% of total anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and have a key role to play in achieving a 1.5 °C...
Integrating biomass quality variability in stochastic supply chain modeling and optimization for large-scale biofuel production
The production of biofuels using second-generation feedstocks has been recognized as an important alternative source of sustainable energy and its demand is expected to increase due to regulations such...
Biorefineries and the food, energy, water nexus — towards a whole systems approach to design and planning
Concerns over securing basic resources to an increasing world population have stressed the importance of critical interactions between the food, energy and water supply systems, as framed...
Sustainable biorefineries, an analysis of practices for incorporating sustainability in biorefinery design
The incorporation of sustainability in the design of biorefineries is central for the development of the biobased economy. In this paper sustainability methods and metrics in current biorefinery design practices are analyzed to identify challenges...
Sustainable network design for multi-purpose pellet processing depots under biomass supply uncertainty
This study develops a two-stage stochastic mixed-integer programming model to manage multi-purpose pellet processing depots under feedstock supply uncertainty. The proposed optimization model would...
Summary and conclusions from the IEA Bioenergy/IEA IETS workshop
Set up and foster cooperation mechanisms between agriculture, forestry and industry
Food supply chains are increasingly associated with environmental and socio-economic impacts. An increasing global population, an evolution in consumers’ needs, and changes in consumption models pose serious...
