Abstract :
High cost, the risk of ending fossil fuels and pollution severely threatens metropolitan areas today and therefore paying attention to renewable energies is inevitable. This paper presents a three-level supply chain of bioethanol production with the three objectives of maximizing profit, reducing environmental impacts and maximizing social impacts, using the Epsilon-constraint method for optimization. On the third level, there are several consumer markets that satisfy end-customer demand. The type of feedstock intended is sugarcane, which can be used to produce bioethanol. The planning horizon of the model is multi-period, and the relationship of chain levels to each other may be disrupted. Finally, a case study in the Southwest region of Iran demonstrates the function of the model.
