The goal of this paper is to examine sustainability impacts of forest bioenergy by determining social perspectives, and combining that with the economic and environmental impacts to evaluate tools that optimize these impacts. Public perceptions about bioenergy is used in this paper to understand how society perceives bioenergy impacts and a qualitative and a quantitative tool have been compared to optimize bioenergy sustainability.

520 $a The goal of this paper is to examine sustainability impacts of forest bioenergy by determining social perspectives, and combining that with the economic and environmental impacts to evaluate tools that optimize these impacts. Public perceptions about bioenergy is used in this paper to understand how society perceives bioenergy impacts and a qualitative and a quantitative tool have been compared to optimize bioenergy sustainability.
520 $a A systematic literature review on stakeholders' perception of bioenergy resulted in 44 published articles between 2000 and 2013. Among stakeholder groups, the majority of studies (79%) focused on the general public's opinion about bioenergy. Overall findings show that the stakeholder groups show low to moderate support for the bioenergy industry. The results of the systematic review introduced in Chapter 1.
520 $a Based on the systematic review, an extensive survey of the general public was conducted in NC and TN in Fall 2013 and Spring 2014. The results from this study are presented in Chapter 2. Approximately, 586 consumers completed the electronic survey (376 NC, 210 TN). Solar and wind energy sources were mostly recognized as renewable compared to all other energy sources. The findings from this study highlight not only educational needs and outreach efforts but also reflect the need for trustworthy channels of communication, helpful policy, market, and institutional support for bioenergy success.
520 $a Chapter 3 includes an assessment of a qualitative tool to examine the social, economic and environmental impacts of bioenergy for a wood-to-pellet production case. A Multi-Attribute Decision Support System (MADSS) was used to analyze woody feedstock alternatives -- naturally regenerated hardwood, plantation pine, and plantation poplar - for pellet production. Plantation pine were found the most sustainable, closely followed by natural hardwood. When analyzing economic criteria alone plantation pine and plantation poplar were found to have advantages over natural hardwood, due in large part to their higher growth rates. On both environmental and social indicators, natural hardwood was found to have a better footprint compared to the other two feedstocks.
520 $a A quantitative tool -- linear programming - was used to optimize of forest biomass supply chain for bioenergy production. Two feedstocks (roundwood and wood residues), two products (white pellet, torrefied pellet), two markets (domestic, international), and two kinds of end use (power generating, heating) were optimized. The objective of this case study was to optimize the monetized social, environmental, and economic impacts of different alternatives, and analyze the trade-offs. The economic optimization resulted that the best solution was to use 1104 GBtu Roundwood and 474 GBtu forest residue feedstock for producing black pellet to the EU, for heating. The higher bioenergy prices in the EU and using the maximum capacity of the pellet mill resulted in $5.4 million profit/year. The economic and social impacts optimization differs from the economic in the achievable profit and rank of the scenarios. Although, roundwood costed more than forest residue, this payment was a social benefit for the local community, so the higher feedstock cost resulted in higher benefits together. Also, the higher feedstock demand for black pellet production made it more advantageous from socio-economic perspective. The economic and social optimization resulted in $19.8 million a year, what was almost four times higher than the economic benefit alone. Both socio-economic and the tri-objective (economic, social, and environmental) optimization found that black pellet production from roundwood to the EU market for heating is the most beneficial. Black pellet became even more advantageous because the higher energy density decreased ocean transportation costs, but also reduced the emission by transportation of energy.
