StrawFeed model: An integrated model of straw feedstock supply chain for bioenergy in China

• Systematically review existing literature, and summarize the practice of straw feedstock supply chain with realistic circumstance in China. Propose an open-source & GIS-enabled linear programming model, StrawFeed, that simulates operation China, discuss how to quantify challenges opportunities. Construct cost-sharing benefit-allocation mechanism stakeholders cooperate together. Clarify could be beneficial for poverty reduction rural revitalization China propose safeguard sustainable operation. With growing concerns fossil fuel scarcity its negative impacts on global environment, bioenergy as alternative energy source has attracted more attention climate change mitigation. As one largest carbon emission agricultural production countries world, abundant resources great potential utilization, number straw-to-energy business projects is increasing dramatically. Correspondingly, there a strong demand design stable chain. However, due uncertainty system boundary neglect risks, procurement cost conversion plants (BCP) varied significantly. Model critical approach strengthening understanding leads promoting efficiency. Therefore, named proposed simulate supply. The costs raking, baling, loading transporting have been investigated components StrawFeed model. model applied case analysis corn Nongan county, major region Northeast results illustrate 172 CNY/ton, reasonable profit allocation achieve triple-win solution among farmers, brokers, BCP. Furthermore, opportunities optimization are scenario analysis, based unique circumstances supporting policies Unfavorable weather delay available working day, thereby would increase up 13%. optimized scheme utilization better environmental ecological benefits, but transportation distance expanded increased 53%. Cross-regional machinery machine subsidies reduce by 18% 5% respectively. This helpful estimate accurate deploy supply, which contribute assisting investors policymakers industry
