The chemical industry is increasingly looking to develop bio-based alternatives to petroleum-
based platform chemicals, in order to reduce dependence on diminishing fossil resources …

The increasing production of modern bioenergy carriers and biomaterials intensifies the
competition for different applications of biomass. To be able to optimize and develop …

Historically, economic development has been strongly correlated with increasing energy use
and growth of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Renewable energy (RE) can help …

Published estimates of the potential of bioenergy vary widely, mainly due to the
heterogeneity of methodologies, assumptions and datasets employed. These discrepancies …

This study reviews the current status, uncertainties and shortcomings of existing models of
land use change (LUC) and associated greenhouse gas emissions as a result of biofuel …

Recent energy and climate policies, particularly in the developed world, have increased
demand for bioenergy2 as an alternative, which has led to both direct and indirect land-use …

Bioenergy projects can lead to direct and indirect land use change (LUC), which can
substantially affect greenhouse gas balances with both beneficial and adverse outcomes for …

Land demand is driven by an increasing population and changing consumption patterns.
When land is required Land Use Changes (LUC) are triggered, causing several …

Biofuels are receiving growing negative attention. Direct and/or indirect land-use changes
that result from their cultivation can cause emissions due to carbon losses in soils and …

Due to land use effects, bioenergy use may cause adverse effects on biodiversity, soil and
water and may even fail to guarantee a GHG emissions reduction compared to fossil fuel …
