Biomass to Biofuel Supply Chain Design and Planning under Uncertainty: Concepts and Quantitative Methods delves into the intricate process of designing and optimizing biomass-to-biofuel supply chains for the successful implementation of biofuel projects on a commercial scale. By addressing the various challenges and complexities encountered in real-world supply chains, this comprehensive book offers a novel approach and discusses a diverse range of quantitative methods. By enabling researchers and practitioners to combine the strengths and features of multiple methods within a single decision-making framework, the book empowers them to efficiently optimize biofuel supply chains, particularly for complex supply chain models.

The book is divided into two main parts, each providing valuable insights. The first part serves as an introduction to the key components of biofuel supply chains, encompassing biomass production, harvesting, collection, storage, preprocessing, conversion, transportation, and distribution. It also provides a comprehensive review of the concepts, problems, and opportunities associated with biofuel supply chains, including the types and properties of feedstocks and fuel products, decision-making levels, sustainability concepts, uncertainty analysis and risk management, as well as the integration of biomass supply chains with other supply chains.

The second part of the book focuses on modeling and optimizing biomass-to-biofuel supply chains under uncertainty, employing various quantitative methods to determine the optimal design. These methods include simulation, optimization algorithms, decision trees, and statistical analysis, among others. By applying these techniques, readers gain a deeper understanding of the factors that influence biomass-to-biofuel supply chain performance and develop strategies to mitigate risks and enhance efficiency.

This book is particularly valuable for graduate students in the fields of supply chain management and modeling, as it combines the principles of supply chain management with mathematical modeling techniques in a single volume. It eliminates the need for students to consult subject-specific books alongside mathematical modeling textbooks, providing them with a comprehensive and interdisciplinary understanding of biofuel supply chains.

In conclusion, Biomass to Biofuel Supply Chain Design and Planning under Uncertainty: Concepts and Quantitative Methods is a crucial resource for researchers, practitioners, and students seeking to advance their knowledge and expertise in the field of biofuel supply chain optimization. By offering a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach, the book empowers individuals to develop innovative solutions to the challenges and complexities faced in biofuel supply chains, ultimately contributing to the sustainable development of the renewable energy sector.
