Greenhouse gas mitigation in agriculture (2008, background): “Crops and residues from agricultural lands can be used as a source of fuel, either directly or after conversion to fuels such as ethanol or diesel (Cannell 2003; Schneider & McCarl 2003).”
The Biology and Agronomy of Switchgrass for Biofuels (2005, background): “” Scenarios in which growers might be paid for each Mg of C that their fields sequester could make switchgrass-for-energy enterprises more economically viable ( Schneider and McCarl, 2003 ).”

Recent advances in pretreatment of lignocellulosic wastes and production of value added products (2009, background): “Technologies that will allow costeffective conversion of biomass into fuels and chemicals consider economy of scale, low-cost pretreatment systems and highly effective and efficient biocatalysts (Schneider and McCar, 2003; Gray et al., 2006).”
Review of Environmental, Economic and Policy Aspects of Biofuels (2007, background): “For 48 carbon prices above $70, producing switchgrass and woody biomass for electricity dominate all other agricultural mitigation strategies (Schneider and McCarl 2003; figure 14).”
A scenario based analysis of land competition between food and bioenergy production in the US (2007, background): “Schneider and McCarl (2003) conclude that at a carbon price above US$ 70/t C, biomass for energy dominates all other agricultural mitigation options. de la Torre Ugarte et al. (2000) study the impact of minor increases in the biofuel price on the U.S. agricultural system in a highly disaggregated…”
Precision Agriculture Technologies positively contributing to GHG emissions mitigation, farm productivity and economics (2017, unknown): “In addition, GHG emissions can be avoided or displaced by the conversion of residual agricultural biomass into biofuel of any type [29,30], where in reality this energy source replace fossil fuels of the same energy content.”
How much land is needed for global food production under scenarios of dietary changes and livestock productivity increases in 2030 (2010, background): “Analyses of the impact of higher CO2 costs on agriculture suggest that it will lead to significant increases in land rents as well as farm gate prices of crops and animal products (Schneider and McCarl, 2003; Johansson and Azar, 2007).”
Global land-use implications of first and second generation biofuel targets (2011, background): “Economic studies compute economic potentials of biofuels (Schneider and McCarl, 2003) and range from farm level to global general equilibrium assessments.”
