A Novel Decision Support System for Designing Phytoremediation-To-Biofuel Value Chains
Short Introductive summary
This paper presents the final version of a Decision Support System that has been developed within the frames of the H2020 CERESiS project to support designing biofuel value chains when the biomass originates from phytoremediation of contaminated land. The Decision Support System (DSS) takes the form of an online tool. It combines various tools, such as GIS geographical data input, Machine Learning for biomass suitability assessment, supply chain optimization, economic, environmental and social KPIs assessment and a multicriteria method for scenario ranking. The aim is to assist various types of stakeholders, such as problem owners, farmers, farmer associations, biofuel products, local authorities and policymakers, to understand the feasibility of establishing a phytoremediation-to-biofuel value chain in order to decontaminate contaminated land and produce clean biofuels, while simultaneously considering the environmental and economic impact. Ultimately, the tool can assist the decision makers in selecting the most appropriate scenario for each case. The tool has been designed with end users in mind, hence it has increased applicability potential in real life problems.
