AB  - Integrated product and process design aims at developing innovative products that provide a desired functionality and are produced efficiently. Tailor-made fuels from renewable feedstocks pose a prominent, societally-relevant example. We build upon the integrated design method from Dahmen and Marquardt (2017) and combine it with the production pathway screening tool from Ulonska et al. (2016). We thus design a tailor-made fuel and its optimal production process by minimizing economic and environmental criteria, i.e., cost and global warming impact (GWI). We consider the production of a tailor-made spark-ignition engine fuel from lignocellulosic biomass. Simultaneous process and product design yields optimal multi-component fuels that consist of ethanol, isobutanol, butanone, cyclopentane, and 2-methylfuran with production costs of 18–22 $ per GJ and GWI values of 38–61 kg per GJ. The proposed method and its solution strategies are, in principle, universal and thus also applicable to products other than fuels.
