Abstract

This study optimizes the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Supply Chain Network (SAFSCN) in the Czech Republic, using wheat straw as feedstock. It integrates geospatial data, transportation logistics, and economic feasibility, applying mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) to optimize pyrolysis plant locations and minimize costs. Sensitivity analysis varied wheat production growth by ±0.1% and ±0.2%. Results confirm Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production is technically and economically viable, with costs projected to decline up to 30.64% and revenues rising 49.07% from 2030 to 2050 due to technological advancements, improved logistics, and economies of scale. The findings underscore the critical role of SAF in achieving EU aviation decarbonization targets and highlight the importance of efficient supply chain planning for scaling SAF production.
