Storing carbon in forests is a leading land-based strategy to curb anthropogenic climate change, but its planetary cooling effect is opposed by warming from low albedo. Using detailed...
Metrics on the sustainability of region-specific bioplastics production, considering global land use change effects
Expanding the production of fuels and fibres based on traditional food crops can put additional pressures on ecosystems and natural resources, with potential spillover effects through induced...
Landowners' perceptions of and interest in bioenergy crops: Exploring challenges and opportunities for growing poplar for bioenergy
The success of bioenergy efforts will depend, in part, on interested, engaged, and informed landowners who are willing and equipped to grow the appropriate feedstocks. We surveyed landowners...
Life cycle energy and greenhouse gas emission effects of biodiesel in the United States with induced land use change impacts
This study conducted the updated simulations to depict a life cycle analysis (LCA) of the biodiesel production from soybeans and other feedstocks in the U.S. It addressed in details the interaction between...
Crops that are grown strictly for energy use, such as switchgrass in the United States, have received much attention as potential renewable sources for bioelectricity; however, markets...
