Center for Excellence in Logistics and Distribution (CELDi) Proposal #1127937 This proposal seeks funding for the Center for Excellence in Logistics and Distribution (CELDi) located at the University of Missouri-Columbia.Funding Requests for Fundamental Research are authorized by an NSF approved solicitation, NSF 10-601. The solicitation invites I/UCRCs to submit proposals for support of industry-defined fundamental research. Sustainable energy sources are a critical component of our nations future and security. One critical aspect of realizing the potential of biomass energy is the logistics component. To date biomass energy is not being realized due to the high costs of biomass logistics systems. This proposal will address this problem and allow for the development of a multi-stage biomass supply chain and logistics model that addresses uncertainties, such as those in the biomass availability, process performance, and final product demand / price to name a few. The model will also support dynamic decision making and address a broad mix of inherent problems in biomass logistics. Using the results of the research, alternative scenarios will be evaluated and decision support tools will be developed. If this project is successful then biomass based sources would become viable and biomass based energy sources would reduce carbon emissions, lead to rural economic development, reduce dependence on foreign sources of energy, increase energy security, increase the likelihood for cost effective energy, and influence policy. Participation by students, including continued recruitment of students from underrepresented groups, will be emphasized by the PI. The project provides benefits for CELDi by positioning both the university members and industry partners in a leadership position for biomass based energy. In addition, the industry partners stand to benefit from an early view of the results that will allow them to develop and implement biomass based energy sources and develop possible market strategies and products.

物流与配送卓越中心（CELDi）提案#1127937该提案旨在为位于密苏里-哥伦比亚大学的物流与配送卓越中心（CELDi）提供资金。基础研究的资金申请由NSF批准的招标NSF 10-601授权。征集邀请I/UCRC提交支持行业定义的基础研究的提案。 可持续能源是我们国家未来和安全的一个关键组成部分。实现生物质能源潜力的一个关键方面是物流部分。迄今为止，由于生物质物流系统的高成本，生物质能源尚未实现。该提案将解决这一问题，并允许开发多阶段生物质供应链和物流模型，以解决不确定性，例如生物质可用性，工艺性能和最终产品需求/价格等。该模型还将支持动态决策，并解决生物质物流中广泛的固有问题。利用研究结果，将对备选方案进行评估，并开发决策支持工具。如果该项目成功，那么基于生物质的能源将变得可行，基于生物质的能源将减少碳排放，导致农村经济发展，减少对外国能源的依赖，增加能源安全，增加成本效益能源的可能性，并影响政策。PI将强调学生的参与，包括继续从代表性不足的群体中招收学生。该项目通过将大学成员和行业合作伙伴定位在生物质能源的领导地位，为CELDi提供了好处。此外，行业合作伙伴将受益于对结果的早期看法，这将使他们能够开发和实施生物质能源，并开发可能的市场战略和产品。
