Abstract Substitution of petro-based aviation fuel with biomass-derived aviation fuel is an emerging strategy to reduce the carbon footprint associated with the aviation sector. There are several pathways for the production of aviation biofuel, and most of them require the use of hydrogen. Therefore, the analysis of the aviation biofuel supply chain must incorporate the production of hydrogen. This paper presents an optimization approach for the strategic planning of aviation fuel supply chains, which considers hydrogen production from fossil and renewable raw materials. The approach also considers extraction of fossil materials, growth of biomass, selection and several processing routes of the feedstock, along with the distribution of products. As case study, the strategic planning of aviation biofuels in Mexico considering the generation of biomass and the hydrogen production is selected. The results show that significant decreases in producing costs and CO2 emissions can be obtained if aviation fuel is generated from renewable raw materials. This finding is quite important, since in Mexico 90% of the consumed energy proceed from fossil sources. Several scenarios are addressed to assess the key factors in the design of the supply chain, reconciling the economic and environmental objectives; and also an analysis for the integration of the infrastructures of the fossil fuels and biorefineries is presented. Keywords: Aviation biofuel, biohydrogen, supply chain, optimization.

1. Introduction The climate change has caused a number of natural disasters around the world, which includes floods, tsunamis, and droughts. Several scientific studies have indicated that the main cause of climate change is the excessive emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs), particularly carbon dioxide. In order to address the climate change crisis, the Paris Agreement (or Paris Climate Accord) sets the objective of substantial reduction in GHG emissions.1 One of the main sources of CO2 emissions is the use of fossil fuels for transportation. While automotive transportation is the largest source of emissions, aviation transport of passengers and goods account for 2% and 3% of the global CO2 emissions, respectively.2-4 Furthermore, a forecast indicates that by 2050, the aviation sector (domestic, international and shipping) is expected to contribute between 10%–32% of the total CO2 emissions.4 In this context, the relatively large contribution of fossil-based aviation fuels to CO2 emissions has promoted a growing trend to identify other fuels with lower carbon footprints. Towards this objective, it has been recommended to use blends of conventional jet fuels with other fuels. For instance, Al-Nuaimi et al.5 proposed an optimization-based framework for blending jet fuel with synthetic fuel derived from gas-toliquid (GTL) operation. Hong et al.6 suggested the use a mixture with different ratios of conventional aircraft fuel with a biofuel, which satisfies the physicochemical properties required for the aviation fuel. There are several pathways for converting biomass to aviation fuel, and most of them require the use of hydrogen. Since the objective of substituting fossil-based fuel with biofuel is to reduce the carbon footprint, it is important to identify hydrogen production routes with low carbon footprints. The hydrogen is usually production through reforming of natural gas; however, this processing route is associated with substantial CO2 emissions.7-9 On the other hand, the use of biomass to produce hydrogen offers a lower carbon footprint. Different processes have been proposed to produce biomass-derived hydrogen or “biohydrogen”.10,11 Pan et al.12 investigated the production of biohydrogen through the fermentation of wheat bran, while Fan et al.13 analyzed the conversion of corn to biohydrogen by anaerobic cultures.

In order to produce renewable aviation fuel with low carbon footprint, all the required raw materials must to be generated through production processes with low carbon footprint. Here lies the importance of considering the production of hydrogen, along with the biomass generation in the aviation fuel supply chain. Thus, an effective supply chain for the aviation biofuel, and the assessment of the economic, environmental, and safety metrics can be obtained.14-16 Regarding the determination of the optimal supply chain for biofuels production several works have been reported in the literature. An analysis of several raw material crops for the production of biofuels was carried out by Sepulveda-González.17 Later, Moraes et al.18 carried out a comparative analysis of different types of raw materials to offer a methodical basis for screening and selection. El-Halwagi et al.19 used a multiobjective optimization framework for designing hydrogen production biorefineries and supply chains, while accounting for safety and economic objectives. Also, El-Halwagi20 proposed a metric for reconciling economic and other sustainability metrics in the design of processing facilities. The exploration of various processing routes for the production of aviation biofuel was reported by Chiaramonti et al.21 Santibañez-Aguilar et al.22-24 presented a study on the strategic planning of bioethanol and biodiesel supply chains. Moreover, several studies related to production of hydrogen have been carried out. Guillén-Gonsálbez et al.29,30 developed an optimization model for the supply chain of hydrogen production considering the market uncertainty. Martín et al.28 analyzed the production of hydrogen from switch grass, in Spain, using an optimization model. Also, Martín and Grossman28,31 analyzed the integrated production of biohydrogen and liquid biofuels. All the previously presented works are valuable research efforts; however, they lack in at least one of the following issues: •

The strategic planning for the supply chain associated with the aviation biofuels does not account for the needed hydrogen in the production process. It should be noticed that most of the reported processes for the aviation biofuel production require significant usage of hydrogen. This hydrogen can be fossil-based hydrogen or biohydrogen. This synergic relationship has not been properly addressed in the previous works.

Minimization of the carbon footprint on a life-cycle basis for the whole supply chain for aviation biofuels.

• The consideration of feedstock type, availability, selection and processing routes for the production of biohydrogen. In order to address the foregoing limitations, the present paper introduces an optimization approach for the strategic planning of the aviation biofuel supply chain while incorporating the use and production of renewable and fossil hydrogen. The supply chain to produce hydrogen is integrated with the aviation biofuel supply chain. Several biomass sources and processing routes are considered for the production of biohydrogen. Finally, economic and environmental objectives are used to optimize the design of the supply chain.

2. Problem statement Given a certain region with the following known information: •

Demands for biomass-based aviation fuel. Production over the minimum demand may be exported and shortages to meet the minimum demand may be compensated through importation.

•

Amount of hydrogen required for the production of aviation fuels.

•

Available supply of fossil aviation fuels in the region.

•

Available land for the production of different types of biomass feedstock that can be used for aviation biofuel and biohydrogen production.

•

Candidate pathways for the processing of biomass to produce aviation fuels.

•

A transportation roadmap which can facilitate the transfer of feedstock, intermediates, byproducts, and main product.

The objective is to design a supply chain that utilizes biomass and fossil materials to produce cost-effective and environmentally friendly solutions.

This representation considers the possibility of installing new biorefineries and biohydrogen production plants. The excess production of aviation biofuel can be exported, whereas the deficiency in meeting the regional demand can be overcome through

Environmental objective function The total CO2 released (TOTALCO2 ) is equal to the sum of emissions by transportation, raw material processing and consumption of products minus the carbon dioxide captured in the fields of cultivation plus the amount of CO2 remaining (CREM ) .

TOTALCO2 = TMPCO2 + TBTCO2 + TSPCO2 + PMPCO2

(91)

+ BTCO2 + SPCO2 − CMPCO2 + CREM The amount of CO2 remaining (CREM ) is now defined as the amount of CO2 that was captured in the biomass crops, but was not used to produce aviation biofuel or biohydrogen. It is important to mention that the parameter of CO2 captured during cultivation depends on the climatological conditions and biomass composition; in Mexico SAGARPA2 reports these parameters along with the productive potential of energy crops. On the other hand, the CO2 release parameter is constituted of emissions by transportation, processing and product consumption; the first one was calculated based on the consumed fuel per kilometer for each transported ton. The emissions by consumption were estimated with base on the carbon contain per ton of each product assuming that all products are used as fuels. The emissions by processing consider those associated to heating and cooling services along with those generated as byproducts for each processing route. All the CO2 emissions associated to processing were calculated using a chemical processes simulator. These parameters are available in supplementary material section.

The sustainability is based on the following three aspects: the economic benefit, the environmental affectation and the social benefit associated with such activity. Nevertheless, it does not exist a measure patron to quantify the degree of sustainability of activities, being its interpretation relative and arbitrary. This research proposes two sustainability indicators which are defined below:

Economic-environmental density ( DS ) The economic-environmental density is the ratio between the economic benefit and the amount of greenhouse gases emissions (CO2). This indicator determines how much money is possible to gain by one ton of greenhouse emission in such activity. This indicator is represented by the symbol ( DS ) and it is calculated as follow:

DS =

Economic benefit ($) Greenhouse emissions (tons of CO2 released) Coefficient of mass integration in coupled supply chains (CIM )

The coefficient of mass integration in coupled supply chains is the ratio between the amounts of recycled mass and the amount of processed mass. This indicator determines how efficient is the integration of coupled supply chains, and for the specific case of supply chain to produce aviation fuel from biomass and fossil mass it is represented by the symbol (CIM ) and calculated as follow:

CIM =

CO2 captured in the biomass crops ( ton ) − CREM (ton) CO2captured in the biomass crops ( ton )

(94)

If a large amount of biomass is cultivated, transported, and processed but it is not transformed into fuel, hydrogen or byproducts, this represents a passive system, which does not produce energy but it consumes energy and it produces pollution. On the other hand, sustainability is based on savings of economic cost, pollution and other issues; so, a passive system is not sustainable, in other words, a supply chain with CIM equal to 1 is more sustainable. Finally, the model formulation is stated as a multi-objective optimization approach, where the problem consists in maximizing equation (83) and minimizing equation (91) subject to the rest of equations.

4. Case studies In this paper, a case study from Mexico is presented. The problem considers the satisfaction of the aviation fuel in the national marker while accounting the use of aviation biofuel under several scenarios. The considered data were taken from Dominguez-García et al.23 and Gutiérrez-Antonio et al.24 (see Tables S1 - S4 available in the supporting information section). Then, the model is a Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) problem, which consists of 358,127 continuous variables, 22,520 binary variables and 108,477 constraints; this model was implemented in the software GAMS® and solved through CPLEX in a computer with an Intel processor at 3.0 GHz with 32 GB of RAM. The average CPU time required to solve each point of the Pareto curve using the epsilon constraint method was of 100 seconds. The supply chain to produce aviation fuel is analyzed from an integral point of view, involving the production and consumption of hydrogen to produce aviation biofuel.

Thus, with the aim of determining the convenience of separating the hydrogen production from the aircraft fuel production plants along with the use of fossil and biomass raw material simultaneously, different scenarios are studied. Therefore, Scenario 1 considers the exclusive use of fossil raw materials to produce both hydrogen and aviation fuel, Scenario 2 considers the exclusive use of biomass to produce hydrogen and aviation fuels (also called biohydrogen and aviation biofuel). Scenario 3 considers the use of fossil mass and biomass in an integrated mode to produce hydrogen and aviation fuel; this scenario is quite interesting since it could be the starting case for the energetic transition in aviation sector. Finally, Scenario 4 considers the use of fossil mass and biomass in an integrated mode to produce hydrogen and aviation fuel, but involving environmental and economic aspects simultaneously. In the four scenarios, there is possible to import and export aviation fuel. Next, a more detailed description of each scenario is provided. Scenario 1. In this case the aim is determining the supply chain in Mexico that maximizes the profit with the following conditions. The demand of aviation fuel in each state of Mexico must be completely satisfied, and only the existing refineries can be used to produce hydrogen and aviation fuel from fossil resources (petroleum). The surplus of aviation fuel and byproducts can be exported; moreover it is possible import aviation fuel. Scenario 2. In this case, the goal is generating the supply chain in Mexico that maximizes the profit with the following conditions. The demand of aviation fuel in each state of Mexico must be completely satisfied. The cultivation sites are all the states of Mexico, in each state is possible to install one biorefinery; furthermore the needed hydrogen to produce the aviation fuel may be obtained from biomass. In each biorefinery is possible to install five different processing routes with different gains and byproducts; also, in each biohydrogen production plant is possible to install three processing routes to convert biomass to biohydrogen. The surplus of aviation biofuel and byproducts can be exported; moreover it is possible to import aviation fuel. Scenario 3. In this case, the focus is to determine the supply chain in Mexico that maximizes the profit with the following conditions. The demand of aviation fuel in each state of Mexico must be completely satisfied, and the resulting fuel must be a mixture with 50% from biomass and 50% from fossil mass. The cultivation sites are all the states of

Mexico. In each state is possible to install one biorefinery and one biohydrogen production plant; these plants can be linked together with refineries already installed in an integrated mode to produce aviation fuel and hydrogen from biomass and fossil mass (petroleum). In each biorefinery is possible to install five different processing routes with different gains and byproducts; furthermore in each biohydrogen production plant is possible to install three processing routes to convert biomass to biohydrogen. The surplus of aviation fuel and byproducts can be exported; moreover it is possible to import aviation fuel. Scenario 4. In this case the goal is to determine the supply chain in Mexico that maximizes the profit with the following conditions. The epsilon constrain method is used to determine a Pareto

simultaneously. The demand of aviation fuel in each state of Mexico must be completely satisfied, and the resulting fuel must be a mixture with 50% from of biomass and 50% from fossil mass. The cultivation sites are all states of Mexico; in each state it is possible to install one biorefinery and one biohydrogen production plant, these plants can be linked together with refineries already installed in an integrated mode to produce aviation fuel and hydrogen from biomass and fossil resources (petroleum). In each biorefinery, it is possible to install five different processing routes with different gains and byproducts; furthermore in each biohydrogen production plant is possible to install three processing routes to convert biomass to biohydrogen. The surplus of aviation fuel and byproducts can be exported; moreover it is possible import aviation fuel.

5. Results In this section, the obtained results are analyzed for each one of the defined scenarios. Scenario 1. This scenario corresponds to the maximum economic benefit using exclusively fossil resources to produce both, hydrogen and aviation fuel. The yearly production of aviation fuel and hydrogen is shown in Table 1, and the economic results for this case are shown in Table 2, which correspond to transportation cost of 225.45 M$/year, processing cost of 246.91 M$/year and the raw material cost of 2,490.50 M$/year. The export sales are 2,388.00 M$/year and the national sales are 3,087.00 M$/year, so that the profit is 2,512.10 M$/year. The total emissions and the sustainability indicators are shown

in Table 3. The economic-environmental density has a value of 112.16 $/t, which means that for every ton of CO2 produced $112.16 are achieved. The coefficient of mass integration in coupled supply chains for this case is equal to zero, since the biomass is not used as raw material. Figure 2 shows the schematic representation of distribution of aviation fuel for this case. Scenario 2. In this case, there was considered the maximum economic benefit using exclusively biomass to produce biohydrogen and aviation biofuel. The yearly production of aviation biofuel and biohydrogen is shown in Table 1, and the economic results for this case are shown in Table 2, which correspond to transportation cost of 205.32 M$/year, processing cost of 2,652.30 M$/year and raw material cost of 21,530.00 M$/year. The export sales are 27,460.00 M$/year and the national sales are 6,629.80 M$/year, so that the profit is 7,269.70 M$/year; the economic benefit for this case is almost three times greater than the Scenario 1, it means the use of biomass could be more profitable than the exclusive use of fossil fuels. The total emissions and sustainability indicators are shown in Table 3. The economic-environmental density has a value of 107.75 $/ton, which means that for every ton of CO2 produced $107.75 are achieved, which is a smaller amount of money than the one of Scenario 1; it means the use of biomass could be more profitable but less sustainable. The coefficient of mass integration in coupled supply chains for this case is 0.60, it means 40% of biomass captured in the crops is returned to the atmosphere. Figure 3 shows the schematic representation of distribution of aviation biofuel for this case. Scenario 3. In this scenario, the consideration was given to the maximum economic benefit using fossil resources and biomass to produce hydrogen and aviation fuel. The yearly production of aviation biofuel and biohydrogen are shown in Table 1, and the economic results for this case are shown in Table 2, which correspond to transportation cost of 330.1 M$/year, processing cost of 2,894.90 M$/year and raw material cost of 24,030.00 M$/year. The export sales are 32,320.00 M$/year and the national sales are 7,259.50 M$/year. So, the profit is 9,908.70 M$/year, the economic benefit for this case is greater than the one of Scenario 2; it means using biomass and fossil mass in an integrated mode could be more profitable than the production of aviation fuel from exclusively biomass or exclusively fossil resources. The total emissions and sustainability indicators are shown in Table 3. The economic-environmental density has a value of 111.42 $/ton,

which means that for each ton of CO2 produced $111.42 are achieved, which is a greater amount of money than the one of Scenario 2; it means using biomass combined with fossil resources could be more sustainable than using exclusively one of them. The coefficient of mass integration in coupled supply chains for this case is 0.61, 1% greater than the one of Scenario 2, and it means that using biomass combined with fossil mass can raise the efficiency of the supply chain. As was mentioned before, this scenario could represent the initial point to begin the energetic transition in the aviation sector. Figure 4 shows the schematic representation of distribution of aviation fuel for this case. Scenario 4. In this case, the economic benefit using fossil mass and biomass to produce hydrogen and aviation fuel is addressed with the epsilon constrain method, to determine a Pareto Solution considering economic and environmental aspects simultaneously. It should be noted that the Pareto curve represents the overall tradeoffs between the economic and environmental objectives. This way, any point along this curve can be seen as a trade-off solution. Furthermore, the solution presented in Tables 1-3 for scenario 4 is the one remarked in blue color in Table S5, and this was selected because this shows a good compromise between the considered objectives. In this solution the yearly production of aviation biofuel and biohydrogen are shown in Table 1, and the economic results for this case are shown in Table 2, which correspond to transportation cost of 196.45 M$/year, processing cost of 1,421.30 M$/year and raw material cost of 22,190.00 M$/year. The export sales are 11,310.00 M$/year and the national sales are 22,320.00 M$/year, so that the profit is 7,299.30 M$/year. The total emission and sustainability indicators are shown in Table 3. The economic-environmental density has a value of 346.77 $/ton, which means that for each ton of CO2 produced $ 311.76 are achieved; this is a greater amount of money than the one of Scenario 3, it means that using biomass combined with fossil mass could be more sustainable than using exclusively one of them, and the epsilon constrain method allows determining a more sustainable solution. The coefficient of mass integration in coupled supply chains for this case is 1.00, it means 100% of biomass captured is used to produce aviation fuel. Additional data of sustainable indicators for the analyzed points in the Pareto curve are presented in Table S5 as supporting information; while Figure 5 shows the location of

a trade-off solution according with the epsilon constrain method, but this solution is not the most sustainable depending on the economic-environmental density. On the other hand, Figures 6 and 7 show that the economic-environmental density behavior as a function of CO2 emissions and economic benefit, which present a maximum point of this indicator of sustainability equal to 360.04 $/ton, while the economic-environmental density indicator for the trade-off solution has a value of 311.76 $/ton. Figures 8 and 9 show the schematic representation of distribution of aviation fuel for trade-off solution and maximum economic-environmental density solution, respectively. Also, Table S6 contains a summary of the production activity of each state of Mexico, which is marked with X.

6. Conclusions This paper has presented an optimization approach to design supply chains for the production of aviation fuels. The approach integrates the use of biomass and fossil resources to produce hydrogen and aviation fuel taking synergistic advantages of both types of feedstocks. The model incorporates several decision-making factors including the optimal selection of the bioresources and fossil resources, cultivation sites for biomass, extraction sites of fossil resources, processing routes and technologies, and integration of new biorefineries with existing infrastructures. Furthermore, the model incorporates the optimal distribution and transportation of materials through the supply chain. Two objective functions have been considered simultaneously: the maximization of the overall profit and the minimization of the associated emissions. A case study has been solved for Mexico with several scenarios and conditions. In this case study, it was determined that the transportation cost associated with the use of biomass to produce biohydrogen and aviation biofuel is cheaper than the use of fossil resources. This is attributed to the good condition of the transportation infrastructure of biomass in Mexico compared to the transportation of fossil resources, and the better distribution of biomass resource in the country. The model results suggest installing small processing facilities distributed through the supply chain. A gasification pathway to produce biohydrogen has been found to be meritorious. It is important to mention that in the production of aviation fuel, the required amount of hydrogen is small; therefore, the

cost of transportation is lower than the capital costs for installation of the production plants. This can be observed in Table S5 of the supplementary material. The recommended raw materials have been found to be Jatropha Curcas and Higuerilla, whereas Camelina was the worst option. Finally, attractive solutions have been generated to balance the economic and environmental objectives. The production of aviation fuel from biomass and fossil resources simultaneously has been found to be more profitable than the production of aviation fuel from exclusively one of them. This proposal is very useful for countries or territories with suitable distribution of potential production of biomass, furthermore bioresources could be combined with solar or wind energy to produce any other liquid fuels thus broadening the horizon to combat climate change.
