ABSTRACT:
A process for optimizing a portfolio of products produced from a crop includes the use of an objective function to determine optimized quantities of the products in the portfolio. The objective function, for example, includes quantity terms for the products. The objective function may also include additional terms such as an energy term and/or a storage term. The energy term, for example, relates to an amount of energy required to produce the products. The storage term, for example, relates to the cost of storing products. The crop, for example, may be sugarcane, and the products, for example, may be sugar, molasses, bagasse, biofuel, electricity, and/or carbon credits.
