The challenge of using renewable energy sources means that the production of biofuels and the design of their supply chains, should be pursue environmental and social benefits beyond the purely economic benefit. In this paper are revised some discussions about the impact of biofuels on sustainability and researching in the biofuel supply chains design of first and second generation via mathematical optimization, to analyze how environmental and social concerns have been considered in this problem. Finally, techniques most used optimization were identified and the review found that the concept of sustainability in the design of biofuel supply chains through modeling, is just beginning.

Palavras-chave : sustainability; biofuels supply chain design; optimization.
