Popis:	An optimization-based supply chain framework is proposed for the nationwide, regional, and statewide analyses of natural gas to liquids (GTL) systems for the United States. With optimized GTL refineries of differing capacities (i.e., 1, 5, 10, 50, and 200 thousand barrels per day) and fuel product ratios (i.e., unrestricted, maximization of diesel, maximization of kerosene, and commensurate with the United States demand), the optimal nationwide, regional, and statewide supply chains are obtained by solving a large-scale mixed-integer linear optimization (MILP) model that minimizes the total cost of fuel production. The mathematical formulation includes the locations of natural gas in the United States discretized by county, the delivery locations of fuel products, the transportation costs of every input and output of the refinery, the material balances of each GTL refinery, water resources, electricity requirements/production of the supply chain, and the CO2 sequestration capacities in the United States. ...
