Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a decision support system (DSS) for design and management of anaerobic digestion based biomass to energy supply chains in a cost effective and environment friendly manner by tackling inherent uncertainties. To this aim, a fuzzy multiobjective mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model is constructed. To explore the viability of the proposed model, computational experiments are performed on a real world problem. The results reveal that the proposed model can effectively be used in practice.
