Biofuel supply chain considering depreciation cost of installed plants
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Due to the depletion of the fossil fuels and major concerns about the security of energy in the future to produce fuels, the importance of utilizing the renewable energies is distinguished. Nowadays there has been a growing interest for biofuels. Thus, this paper reveals a general optimization model which enables the selection of preprocessing centers for the biomass, biofuel plants, and warehouses to store the biofuels. The objective of this model is to maximize the total benefits. Costs of the model consist of setup cost of preprocessing centers, plants and warehouses, transportation costs, production costs, emission cost and the depreciation cost. At first, the deprecation cost of the centers is calculated by means of three methods. The model chooses the best depreciation method in each period by switching between them. A numerical example is presented and solved by CPLEX solver in GAMS software and finally, sensitivity analyses are accomplished.

An Optimization Model for Biofuel Supply Chain
Biofuels have attracted much attention as a sutuible substitute for fossil fuels in last decade. Designing an efficient supply chain is an essential requirement for commercialization of biofuel production. This paper presents a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model to design biofuel supply chains in which the biofuel demand is under ARMA time series models. It is studied how ARMA time s...

The index is excellent by the Malmquist index as extended to productivity measurement. The index developed here is defined in terms of input cost rather than input quantity distance functions in supply chain. Therefore, we propose productivity change is decomposed into overall efficiency and cost technical change. These decompositions provide a clearer situation of the root sources of supply ch...
