Abstract

The projected increase in global energy consumption, along with recent upheavals such as extreme weather events due to climate change and geopolitical turmoil, motivates the development of sustainable energy supply chains that have the capability to withstand internal and external threats to the system. However, one major challenge is a lack of understanding on the contributing factors to energy supply chain resilience at various spatial and temporal scales. To this end, we argue for the use of a multi-scale approach in studying the resilience of energy supply chains to take advantage of physical and chemical synergies at various scales of operation as well as incorporate risk mitigation techniques drawn from general supply chain literature and practice. We present an initial effort towards a framework for energy supply chain resilience at four scales of operation: molecular, unit, process, and supply chain.
