Biomass logistics comprise of inter-dependent operations related to harvesting and
collection, storage, pre-processing, and transportation. Its high cost represents one of the …

For many years now, it has become evident that the forest sector is a vital contributor to
economic, environmental and social development of nations who are privileged to benefit …

Conventional practices of siting all biomass preprocessing operations at the biorefinery is
widely believed to be the most cost-effective solution for feedstock supply because of …

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the influence of big data analytics (BDA) personnel
expertise capabilities in the development of supply chain (SC) agility. Based on extant …

Production of bioenergy and biofuels from forest-based biomass provides an economically
and environmentally attractive use of an otherwise wasted material. However, from the …

Using forest-based biomass to produce bio-energy and bio-fuels could provide economic,
environmental, and social benefits for communities. However, variability in biomass …

Producing syngas from forest-based biomass could facilitate the transitions in energy and
forest sectors by replacing natural gas; reducing emissions and wastes; and generating …

In this work we propose a data independent framework for the optimal integration of
renewable sources of energy to produce fuels and power. A network is formulated using …

This paper aims to model and minimize transportation costs in collecting tree logs from
several regions and delivering them to the nearest collection point. This paper presents …

We model and solve a production planning problem over a discrete-time horizon of a
biorefinery that treats different types of biomass and transform them either into bioenergy or …
