Abstract

Most biofuels today come from sources that have some relationship with products of the human diet, which has generated controversy regarding their feasibility for industrial-scale production. This work presents a mathematical optimization model for installing bioethanol and biodiesel processing plants involving unconventional bioresources. The considered bioresources are not part of the human diet. The proposed mathematical model considers the maximization of the annual profit considering the installation of biofuel plants and the distribution of these biofuels in areas that present a greater demand for gasoline or diesel to replace fossil fuels. A case study from Mexico was considered since its wide biodiversity. The first scenario presents the optimal solution where there is high feasibility of bioethanol and biodiesel production, obtaining a production of 8.14 × 107 L/year and 2.18 × 108 L/year, respectively. In addition, the feasibility is shown considering the variation in the temporality of the availability of the bioresources for the generation of biofuels. The proposed model is flexible, and it can be used to analyze other case studies.
