Economic and life cycle environmental optimization of forest-based biorefinery supply chains for bioenergy and biofuel production

- A bi-objective optimization model for biorefinery supply chain design is developed.
- GHG emission savings and net present value of the biorefinery system are maximized.
- The produced bioenergy could be used as input in co-located biofuel technologies.
- The model is applied to a case study in British Columbia, Canada.
