Summary: Bioenergy is a clean and renewable energy source that reduces dependence on fossil fuels and is sustainable, economically viable, and socially acceptable. It aligns with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The design of a green and sustainable Biomass Supply Chain (BSC) is crucial for successful commercialization of bioenergy. However, there are challenges in terms of emissions, economy, and socio-cultural aspects that need to be addressed to achieve sustainable development using bioenergy. Advanced tools and techniques such as artificial intelligence and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) are recommended for achieving global deployment of bioenergy with net zero emissions.

Summary: This study presents a novel binary-valued data envelopment analysis (DEA) theory which integrates binary-valued and integer-valued theories in the DEA context for the first time. New production possibility sets (PPSs) with unique features are developed to address integer inputs and outputs. Axiomatic DEA principles are proposed to account for binary data, ensuring convexity and feasibility. Additionally, a new DEA model is developed to consider integer and real data, with a case study demonstrating the utility of the models in sustainable supplier selection. The proposed models offer feasible solutions for inefficient decision-making units (DMUs) using binary, integer, and real data.
