طراحی یک شبکه‌ی زنجیره‌ی تأمین نسل دوم سوخت سبز مبتنی بر سیاست‌های انتشار کربن در شرایط عدم‌قطعیت

Global warming and the detrimental impacts of fossil fuels on the environment and human life have led to focus on producing sustainable energy resources for future. One of the renewable and sustainable energy resources is biofuel. Today most of developed countries are focused on producing biofuels to improve economic and environmental opportunities. Because of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases emissions during supply chain activities, we present a mathematical model for designing a second generation of sustainable multi stage biofuel supply chain network which contains agricultural zones, bio-refineries and markets with the objective of maximizing the profit. Supply chain costs like growing, harvesting, collecting and agricultural residual storage, transportation of agricultural residual from farms to bio-refineries, producing biofuel in bio-refineries and transportation cost from bio-refineries to markets are also considered. Since considerable amount of Carbon dioxide is emitted during transporting agricultural residual from farms to bio-refineries and transporting biofuel from bio-refineries to markets, four different carbon emission regulations are considered in order to examine the environmental impacts, including: carbon cap, carbon tax, carbon cap-and-trade and carbon offset. Based on the carbon-cap mechanism, the maximum amount of carbon emissions is limited. Under the carbon tax mechanism, for each unit of carbon emission, a tax must be given to the regulations. Regarding a carbon cap-and-trade policy, a carbon cap is imposed on supply chain operations and companies can trade their carbon allowances in the market. Considering a carbon offset mechanism, a company can purchase additional carbon allowances. According to uncertainties in real-world problems, the uncertainty nature of parameters like selling revenue of biofuel, costs of growing, harvesting, collecting agricultural residual, transportation of agricultural residual and biofuel, production biofuel, carbon tax rate and amount of carbon emissions are reflected. A chance constrained fuzzy programming approach is used to deal with uncertain parameters. It is apparent by numerical results that proposed model is so efficient and it can be used in the future to produce and develop second generation biofuel supply chain from agricultural residual by considering the carbon emission regulations.
