| Summary: |
Biomass is one of the alternative sources of energy which has a promising
future to complement or replace fossil fuels. However, the main barrier in utilisation
of biomass for energy production is the cost associated with biomass supply chain
management. Biomass supply chain management involves process of planting,
harvesting, storing, transporting and processing. This study is focussed to solve the
combinatorial complexity of biomass supply chain in FELDA Jengka, one of the
largest oil palm plantations in Malaysia. To address this issue, P-graph optimization
software is used to minimise the total cost related to biomass supply chain
management and at the same time to reduce the amount of carbon released to the
atmosphere along the supply chain. |
