Strategic Decision Analysis of Multi-product Biorefineries

A decision support system is formulated for a multi-product biorefinery. A structured approach is used for feed, product, and technology selection and capacity design. Uncertainty in ethanol prices is modeled using real-options analysis. The results show prefernece for an incremental capacity design over economies of scale, and selection of a higher costing flexible production platform that can coproduce multiple products.
