  Energy security and climate change concerns have endangered the reliability of the current hydrocarbon-based energy system. Biofuels, and bioethanol in particular, have been acknowledged to have a relevant role in leading this paradigm change in the transport energy sector. Quantitative design tools based on mathematical programming may play a relevant role in driving the decision-making progress on well-advised investments in the energy sector.This chapter focuses on the application of mathematical tools to some of the most challenging aspects concerning the actual feasibility and sustainability of biofuel infrastructures. In particular, the optimization of biofuel networks toward economic and environmental objectives will be tackled. Also, the effect of market and technology uncertainties will be discussed as key factors affecting planning strategies in the biofuel sector.

  Supply chain optimization tools for the strategic planning of biorefining systems

  , Pages: 150-152

  A crucial element of biobased economies is the development of economically sustainable biorefining systems enabling a full exploitation of biomass (and its macrocomponents, i.e. cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin) for the production of chemicals, materials and energy. The huge variety of biomass processing paths in second generation biorefineries leads to complex product portfolios indicating the necessity of maximizing the value derived from biomass feedstock when treated in a biorefinery with the aim to create economically feasible and environmentally sustainable biobased production systems (Kokossis and Yang, 2010). One of the most important and challenging aspects in the quest of producing a set of more sustainable biobased products, is the design of a more profitable, better integrated and more sustainable biorefinery supply chain network (Akgul et al., 2011; Martín and Grossmann, 2010; Čuček et al., 2014). The biomass pretreatment, which fractionates biomass into its three macrocomponents, usually represents the highest costing part of the entire biorefining system (CIMV, 2015). Optimization tools could play a decisive role supporting the decision making process in new biorefinery systems, through the performance of sensitivity analysis, the assessment of technical or economic uncertainties as well as the identification of the major cost drivers (Kim et al., 2013).
