Bioenergy deployment offers significant potential for climate change mitigation, but also
carries considerable risks. In this review, we bring together perspectives of various …

The ecological impact of biofuels is mediated through their effects on land, air, and water. In
2008, about 33.3 million ha were used to produce food-based biofuels and their coproducts …

Bioenergy from lignocellulosic biomass offers the potential to provide a significant source of
clean, low carbon and secure energy. In recent years, a number of studies have been …

Using a volatility spillover model, we find evidence of significant spillovers from crude oil
prices to corn cash and futures prices, and that these spillover effects are time‐varying …

The expansion of a given land use may affect deforestation directly if forests are cleared to
free land for this use, or indirectly, via the displacement of other land-use activities from non …

Growing crops for bioenergy or biofuels is increasingly viewed as conflicting with food
production. However, energy use continues to rise and food production requires fuel inputs …

The demand for biobased products, such as food, fuel, and chemicals, has been
continuously increasing. Meanwhile, agricultural production, serving as the primary stage of …

Modern agriculture is linked to desertification, massive biodiversity loss and environmental
degradation of the ecosystems. In contrast, crop rotation represents an agronomic approach …

The magnitude of land conversion caused by biofuels expansion largely determines
whether biofuels reduce net greenhouse gas emissions. To examine this issue, we model …

The promotion of biofuels as energy for transportation in the world is mainly driven by the
perspective of oil depletion, the concerns about energy security and global warming. In …
