We address the integration of two greenhouse gas (GHG) abatement options, namely, geological sequestration and microalgae biofixation, using a supply chain optimization approach. A multiscale, multiperiod, mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model is proposed, which accounts for CO2 transportation pipeline network design, algae processing route, and product selection, as well as the sea...

10 This paper addresses the optimal design and planning of sustainable chemical supply 11 chains (SCs) in the presence of uncertainty in the damage model used to evaluate 12 their environmental performance. The environmental damage is assessed through 13 the Eco-indicator 99, which includes recent advances made in Life Cycle Assess14 ment (LCA). The overall problem is formulated as a bi-criteri...

In this paper, we address the integration of production planning and reactive scheduling for the optimization of a hydrogen supply network consisting of five plants, four inter-connected pipelines and 20 customers. We present multiperiod mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) models for both the planning and scheduling levels. The planning model includes complex pricing functions resulting...
