Abstract

The crucial role of sustainable energy in addressing environmental challenges and using agricultural waste for bioenergy supports a circular bioeconomy. This paper presents a four-stage approach to optimise a biorefinery supply chain for Ireland's agricultural waste sector. The spatial availability of agricultural waste was assessed, followed by evaluating land suitability for biorefinery development under economic, environmental, and social constraints. A hybrid method using GIS and AHP was employed to rank suitable areas, and a mathematical model was used for supply chain optimisation. Results showed only 12 % of the study area is highly suitable for biorefineries, with an average transportation distance of 39 km, leading to reduced costs and emissions. The framework's efficiency is highlighted by a transportation cost of only 4 %, compared to 16 % in previous studies. This research fills a gap in bioenergy supply chain management by demonstrating advanced tools for optimising sustainability and site suitability.

优化生物能源供应链的新方法：整合数学编程、地理信息系统和层次分析法。

可持续能源在应对环境挑战方面发挥着至关重要的作用，而利用农业废弃物生产生物能源则为循环生物经济提供了支持。本文介绍了优化爱尔兰农业废弃物部门生物精炼供应链的四阶段方法。首先评估了农业废弃物的空间可用性，然后评估了在经济、环境和社会限制条件下发展生物精炼厂的土地适宜性。采用 GIS 和 AHP 混合方法对合适的区域进行排序，并使用数学模型对供应链进行优化。结果表明，只有 12% 的研究区域非常适合发展生物精炼厂，平均运输距离为 39 公里，从而降低了成本和排放。该框架的效率突出表现在运输成本仅为 4%，而之前的研究为 16%。这项研究填补了生物能源供应链管理领域的空白，展示了优化可持续性和场地适宜性的先进工具。

期刊介绍： Bioresource Technology publishes original articles, review articles, case studies, and short communications covering the fundamentals, applications, and management of bioresource technology. The journal seeks to advance and disseminate knowledge across various areas related to biomass, biological waste treatment, bioenergy, biotransformations, bioresource systems analysis, and associated conversion or production technologies. Topics include: • Biofuels: liquid and gaseous biofuels production, modeling and economics • Bioprocesses and bioproducts: biocatalysis and fermentations • Biomass and feedstocks utilization: bioconversion of agro-industrial residues • Environmental protection: biological waste treatment • Thermochemical conversion of biomass: combustion, pyrolysis, gasification, catalysis.
