Abstract

In the last decade has seen a reduction in the
quantities of fossil raw materials for the production of conventional fuels,
which in turn is accompanied by deepening environmental problems. There is a
tendency to increase production of biofuels and increasing quantities of waste
produced. They are classified as productive (technological) and operational
(for utilization of biofuels and their values). This research work focuses on
creating tools for supply chains (SC), describing the optimal management of production
and operational waste. Developed are tools that includes a mathematical model
and its optimization for production and use of biofuels on the following
criteria: production technology, spatial distribution logistics and production
units and environmental pollution with waste fuel gases containing mostly of CO₂.
Building SC also aims to provide the necessary quantities of fuels for heating
and transport systems as well as their optimization environmentally friendly
aspect.
