Abstract
Among the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals, a critical aim is to provide "affordable, sustainable, and clean energy for all." Additionally, the rising urgency to ensure energy security and address global warming has highlighted the need to explore alternative energy sources beyond fossil fuels. Leveraging agricultural waste for bioenergy production has emerged as a promising solution, offering an opportunity to mitigate environmental impacts while creating renewable energy. The success and attractiveness of this initiative to stakeholders and investors significantly depend on designing efficient supply chain networks, particularly in selecting optimal locations for biorefineries. This research sets out to design a supply chain network that prioritizes sustainability, encompassing economic, environmental, and social considerations. Initially, it employs a two-pronged approach, utilizing Geographic Information System (GIS) and MCDM, to pinpoint viable biorefinery locations, taking into account both environmental and economic constraints.
