Abstract
This research aimed to systematically review the development studies pertaining to forest biomass and bioenergy supply chain resilience (SCR). In this regard, a mixed procedure was implemented in order to explore and analyze the relevant publications, and to answer the research questions. First, the databases and journals working on forest biomass and bioenergy supply chains (SCs) were identified based on the indices of the review process and the indices of the barriers and enablers. Next, data refinement was employed to filter the publications into four levels and determine the semifinal cases. Moreover, the references of the semifinal publications were tracked in order to achieve the final cases. Consequently, 88 papers were determined as the final cases through which the barriers and enablers were explored and analyzed. Furthermore, in order to meet the research gap in this area and prove the connections of those barriers and enablers with the resilience capability, their relationships with the main resilience factors were investigated. According to the assessment, the findings of this research on the definition, barriers and enablers of forest biomass and bioenergy SCR can be applied as a basis for the comprehension and optimization of the structure of SCs in the forest biomass and bioenergy industries.
Highlights
Biomass is one of the sources of energy available in many countries
Based on the research process, an overview of the literature structure on supply chain resilience (SCR) in the forest biomass and bioenergy industries is presented
The results indicate the extent to which the barriers and enablers identified by reviewing the literature are associated with resilience capability, and level thereof in forest biomass and bioenergy supply chains (SCs)
Summary
Biomass is one of the sources of energy available in many countries. It is defined as the series of organic raw material that originates from plants and animals [1]. Bioenergy is defined as a type of primary renewable energy, in that its constant use does not broadcast greenhouse gases into the atmosphere [3]. Bioenergy is a form of clean energy generated from raw materials under the title ‘biomass’, for operation in line with producing transportation fuels, heat, electricity and products by considering the modern standards [4]
