Supply chain optimization and GHG emissions in biofuel production from forestry residues in Sweden

This paper applies an innovative optimization methodology to the supply chain of biomethanol production starting from forestry residues in Sweden. The model accounts for collection biomass, transport biorefinery including intermediate storages and biodiesel plant. Particular attention is devoted characterization economic environmental point view by truck trains, impact drying process as well size Results show that limited plants. calculated cost fuel around 525 €/t being major cost. equivalent CO2 emissions are 10.4 gCO2/MJMeOH thanks low carbon intensity Swedish electricity. A sensitivity analysis showed does not vary significantly assuming higher prices biomethanol.
