Abstract

The International Energy Agency projects that modern biomass could supply up to 10% of global primary energy demand by 2035. While hybrid solar-bioenergy systems have supported progress toward several Sustainable Development Goals - enhancing employment, health, and socio-economic development - the implementation of large-scale programs remains slow due to perceived risks within the bio-resources supply chain. This study explores existing research and awareness on biomass and bioenergy supply chains and their sustainability implications through a triple bottom line lens. Using an exploratory research design, it applies a systematic literature review and content analysis to synthesise current knowledge and highlight emerging trends. Scopus-indexed studies were analysed to examine sustainability considerations in biomass refining, logistics, and supply chain operations. The review identifies three key thematic areas: logistical challenges and mitigation measures, sustainable supply chain practices, and future research pathways essential for advancing resilient and sustainable biowaste supply chain management.
