The odology includes a thorough examination of scientific publications in recent years about logistics operations. The use of mathematical models can be beneficial for the selection of areas with a high number of residual biomass and processing centers; for the design of feedstock allocation; for the planning and selection of the mode of transport; and for the optimization of the supply chain, logistics, cost estimation, availability of resources, energy efficiency, economic performance, and environmental impact assessment. It is also essential to consider the exhaustive analysis of the most viable technological solutions among the conversion processes, in order to guarantee the minimum emissions of polluting or greenhouse gases. In addition, this document provides a critical review of the most relevant challenges that are currently facing logistics linked to the assessment of biomass in the Dominican Republic, with a straightforward approach to the complementarity and integration of non-manageable renewable energy sources. 2022 en info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article https://doi.org/10.3390/su14073868 Sustainability Sustainability urn:issn:2071-1050 Sustainability, 2022, vol. 14, n. 7, p. 3868 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess openAccess cc-by https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/14/7/3868/pdf?version=1648172455 Q1 Responsible consumption and production Affordable and clean energy Industry, innovation and infrastructure Instituto Tecnológico de Santo Domingo https://www.intec.edu.do/portal Biomass Energy Potential of Agricultural Residues in the Dominican Republic Hugo Guzmán-Bello Máximo Domínguez-Garabitos Miguel Aybar-Mejía Iosvani López-Díaz Jose Atilio de Frias agricultural residues bioenergy potential sugarcane waste rice straw coconut waste energy potential assessment biomass-to-energy conversion hybrid renewable energy systems distributed generation electricity supply reliability Dominican Republic The Dominican Republic has significant potential for energy generation from residual biomass, with sugarcane, rice, and coconut waste having the highest energy potential. The Eastern, Northeastern, and Southern regions were identified as the areas with the most significant potential for energy generation. This potential can be harnessed to complement intermittent or unmanageable renewable energies in distributed generation networks. Biomass generation plants can be hybridized with other sources, such as wind and solar, to provide a more stable and reliable electricity supply. The methodology developed to evaluate the energy potential of residual biomass in the Dominican Republic integrates a rigorous review of the literature and agricultural databases, incorporating criteria such as annual production, residue-to-product ratio, higher calorific value, and dry matter content, culminating in a formula that synthesizes normalized data to optimize the selection and projection of biomass sources based on their potential energy contribution. The study found that the Dominican Republic has significant potential for energy generation from residual biomass, which can be leveraged to provide a more stable and reliable electricity supply. 2023 en info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article https://doi.org/10.3390/su152215847 Sustainability Sustainability urn:issn:2071-1050 Sustainability, 2023, vol. 15, n. 22, p. 15847 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess openAccess cc-by https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/15/22/15847/pdf?version=1699678513 Q1 Affordable and clean energy Zero hunger Climate action Responsible consumption and production Instituto Tecnológico de Santo Domingo https://www.intec.edu.do/portal Mesa redonda 2019 info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject proceedings-article cris:cris-0b0a018a  RENPOWER, Santo Domingo, República Dominicana, 2019.  RENPOWER, Santo Domingo, República Dominicana, 2019.  RENPOWER, Santo Domingo, República Dominicana, 2019., 2019 Instituto Tecnológico de Santo Domingo https://www.intec.edu.do/portal Algunas consideraciones preliminares acerca de la factibilidad de la obtención de biodiesel en páıses en v́ıas de desarrollo 2005 info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject proceedings-article cris:cris-1a64d215 2005 Instituto Tecnológico de Santo Domingo https://www.intec.edu.do/portal Estudio comparativo de los parámetros de funcionamiento de un motor diesel cuando usa biodiesel y diesel como combustible 2005 info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject proceedings-article cris:cris-63747c05 2005 Instituto Tecnológico de Santo Domingo https://www.intec.edu.do/portal Energy management platform based on a smart microgrid of distributed generation with renewables 2019 info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject proceedings-article cris:cris-76917abc  ICSC-CITIES (Congreso Iberoamericano de Ciudades Inteligentes), Campus Universitario Duques de Soria, España.  ICSC-CITIES (Congreso Iberoamericano de Ciudades Inteligentes), Campus Universitario Duques de Soria, España.  ICSC-CITIES (Congreso Iberoamericano de Ciudades Inteligentes), Campus Universitario Duques de Soria, España., 2019 Instituto Tecnológico de Santo Domingo https://www.intec.edu.do/portal ESTIMACIÓN DE LA PRODUCCIÓN DE BIOGÁS A PARTIR DE UN MODELO DE SIMULACIÓN DE PROCESOS 2019 info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article cris:cris-94749d0b 2019 Instituto Tecnológico de Santo Domingo https://www.intec.edu.do/portal ESTIMACIÓN DE LA PRODUCCIÓN DE BIOGÁS A PARTIR DE UN MODELO DE SIMULACIÓN DE PROCESOS 2020 info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article cris:cris-97e420cf 2020 Instituto Tecnológico de Santo Domingo https://www.intec.edu.do/portal Building Energy Management Based on Predictive Control for Energy Efficient in the Dominican Republic info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject proceedings-article cris:cris-b7eb13e5  ICSC-CITIES (Congreso Iberoamericano de Ciudades Inteligentes),Campus Universitario Duques de Soria, España.  ICSC-CITIES (Congreso Iberoamericano de Ciudades Inteligentes),Campus Universitario Duques de Soria, España.  ICSC-CITIES (Congreso Iberoamericano de Ciudades Inteligentes),Campus Universitario Duques de Soria, España.
