Cellulosic biofuel contributions to a sustainable energy future: Choices and outcomes
BACKGROUND Cellulosic biofuels offer environmental benefits not available from grain-
based biofuels and are a cornerstone of efforts to meet transportation fuel needs in a future …

Economic evaluation of the production of perennial crops for energy purposes—A review
Biomass is widely used for the production of renewable energy, which calls for an economic
evaluation of its generation. The aim of the present work was to review the literature …

Diverse lignocellulosic feedstocks can achieve high field‐scale ethanol yields while providing flexibility for the biorefinery and landscape‐level environmental benefits
Increasing the diversity of lignocellulosic feedstocks accepted by a regional biorefinery has
the potential to improve the environmental footprint of the facility; harvest, storage, and …

Impact of government subsidies on a cellulosic biofuel sector with diverse risk preferences toward feedstock uncertainty
Investment risk and uncertainty about the availability of biomass feedstock hinders the
development of a mature cellulosic biofuel sector. The Biomass Crop Assistance Program …

Economics of crop rotations with and without carinata for sustainable aviation fuel production in the SE United States
In 2019, the aviation sector in the United States emitted 255 million metric tons of carbon
dioxide (CO2) emissions, ie, about five percent of the total domestic CO2 emissions from the …

Adopting bioenergy crops: Does farmers' attitude toward loss matter?
We apply prospect theory to examining farmers' economic incentives to divert a share of
their land to bioenergy crops (miscanthus and switchgrass in this study). Numerical …

The expansion of short rotation forestry: characterization of determinants with an agent‐based land use model
Wood is a limited resource which is exposed to a continuously growing global demand not
least because of a politically fostered bioenergy use. One approach to master the challenge …

Biomass from marginal cropland: willingness of North Central US farmers to produce switchgrass on their least productive fields
RK Perrin, LE Fulginiti… - Biofuels, Bioproducts and …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
If the US mandates for the use of cellulosic biofuels are ultimately enforced, cellulosic
feedstock will be demanded. Native switchgrass is a cellulosic feedstock that has been of …

Carbon mitigation payments can reduce the riskiness of bioenergy crop production
Perennial bioenergy crops provide substantial carbon mitigation benefits but have risky
returns. We couple economic analysis with a biogeochemical model (DayCent) to examine …
