Biomass conversion is largely impacted by the cost of transporting biomass
materials. As a result, businesses need optimization solutions to optimize
their transport operations, allocate resources effectively, and reduce their
environmental impact. As part of the process of biomass conversion, this
paper discusses the transport and biomass optimization problem in detail.
The paper presents optimization of transportation cost of two biomass
products, natural gas, and bio fuel during the process of biomass conversion
final products depending on the transport routes and other factors.
Keywords: biomass, biomass supply chain, optimization, transportation
