An Optimization Approach for A Biogas Supply Chain using Goal Programming and Mixed Integer Linear Programming

Environmental concerns prompt the world for a transition to renewable energy sources from fossil energy. Reducing the dependency on non-renewable sources of energy is prerequisite for the sustainable world and less environmental pollution. Biogas energy, which is one of the most important renewable energy sources, is produced by burning organic wastes and can be used in many different fields. In this study, a two-stage approach is undertaken to optimize a biogas supply chain design by incorporating of 30 districts in Izmir. In the first stage, the selection of the most suitable biogas plants is considered by the goal programming approach, which is of great importance to decide the optimal location with high energy potential. The most suitable sites for the biogas plants are obtained as Konak and Narlıdere districts. In the second stage, the location problem of the biogas vehicle charging stations (BVS) for biogas vehicles is handled considering the results of the first stage using mixed integer linear programming (MILP) approach. Computational results demonstrate that it would be more appropriate to establish BVS in 12 districts of İzmir. The model and solution approach are pioneering for supply chain problems and an efficient tool for renewable energy plans.
