Supply Chain Management for Bioenergy and Bioresources

Guest Editors: Message from the Guest Editors Prof. Dr. Dionysis Bochtis Institute for Bio-economy and Dear Colleagues, Agri-Technology (IBO), Centre for Research and Technology–Hellas In the modern world, the competitiveness of bioenergy and/or bioresources- (CERTH), , related activities heavily depend on the effectiveness of Supply Chain [email protected] Management. A large number of multi-disciplinary topics are involved in the

Prof. Dr. Charisios Achillas bioresources and bioenergy production fields. Although the technical issues Department of Logistics, related to the topic have been well discussed and do not represent major Technical Educational Institute barriers, supply chain management issues, such as design of the network, of Central , , , Katerini, Greece collection, storage, or transportation of bioresources, are still considered as [email protected] fundamental questions that need to be answered towards optimal exploitation of bioenergy and bioresources. Moreover, modelling of material and energy flows; the identification of the dynamic character of the supply chains; available reverse logistics (waste management) alternatives; the economic, social, and Deadline for manuscript submissions: environmental sustainability of bioresource supply chains; and novelty in 31 October 2019 applied business models and decision support framework towards efficient supply chain management for bioenergy and bioresources present critical operational sustainability issues and business-making potential.

This Special Issue seeks to contribute to the bioenergy and bioresources agenda through enhanced scientific and multi-disciplinary knowledge to boost the performance efficiency of supply chain management and support the decision-making processes of stakeholders. To that end, we therefore invite papers on innovative technical developments, reviews, case studies, and analytical and assessment papers from different disciplines, that are relevant to supply chain management for bioenergy and bioresources. mdpi.com/si/22687 SpecialIssue IMPACT FACTOR 2.676 an Open Access Journal by MDPI
