Integrated GIS-AHP network design optimization models via LP is proposed to solve the bi-objective biomass supply chain optimization problems inclusive of the management of cost-effective biomass resourcing spatial availability, optimal sites of biorefinery, and transportation network. The formulation is modeled through LP to minimize the logistic costs and GHG emissions. The case study focused on 78 palm oil plantations in Johor.
