Resumo(s)
Currently, there is an increasing pressure to decarbonize and meet energy demands. In this regard, the usage of
renewable energy sources is becoming more prominent. Biomass energy can significantly contribute to this
effort. However, due to logistical costs, its exploitation is often considered less ‘desirable.’ Sometimes, partic-
ularly in the context of residual biomass, open burning on site is desirable. This study aims to optimize the
residual biomass supply chain by leveraging digitalization’s advantages, thereby creating a new model for this
purpose. Methodologically, this research initially adopted an empirical approach, analyzing documents from a
project that recreated the current scenario. In its second phase, the study involved a literature review to gather
insights needed for developing the final model. Consequently, this study offers three major contributions: a
detailed mapping of the current scenario, a comprehensive synthesis of the potentials of emerging technologies in
the supply chain, and a model illustrating the integration of these technologies in the context of residual biomass.
Thus, this research presents an opportunity to transform a common ‘leftover’ into a value-added material. To
better assess the model’s value, two analyses, PEST and SWOT, were conducted to align the conceptual proposal
with real-world contexts.
