Biomass and biofuels in China: Toward bioenergy resource potentials and their impacts on the environment (2018, background): “Most studies agreed that, without land use change impacts, biofuels release much less GHG emissions than their fossil fuel counterparts on a per unit energy basis [6,7,44].”
A comprehensive review of the adsorption mechanisms and factors influencing the adsorption process from the perspective of bioethanol dehydration (2019, background): “Bioethanol mixed with other common fuels, like gasoline, can extend the utilization of crude oil, reduce confidence level on oil imports and help to control increasing oil prices [1].”
Giant reed (Arundo donax L.): A weed plant or a promising energy crop? (2012, background): “…the Eroei value is about 0.74 to 1.34 (Cleveland, 1984; Hattori and Morita, 2010) with a reduction in GHG of 12 to 18% (Farrell et al., 2006; Hill et al., 2006), while second generation bioethanol from poly-annual crops shows an Eroei index of 3.91 to 6.57, with a reduction of GHG emissions…”
Microalgae: The Potential for Carbon Capture (2010, background): “…associated with the use of fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and soil tillage, as well as irrigation, deforestation, increased soil respiration, erosion, and transportation of the feedstock, all reduce the net carbon-capture efficiency of alcohol fuels derived from biomass (Hill et al. 2006).”
Substitution between biofuels and fossil fuels: is there a green paradox? (2012, background): “4For static analysis of energy substitution, see Hill et al. (2006), Steenblik (2007), Koplow (2007), Lapan and Moschini (2009), Bandyopadhyay et al. (2009), Moschini et al. (2010).”
Biofuels in Brazil: an overview. (2007, background): “However, to be profi table, biofuels need to provide net energy gain, be environmentally friendly, be cost-competitive, and be produced in suffi cient quantities without reducing food supplies (Hill et al., 2006).”
Issues to consider, existing tools and constraints in biofuels sustainability assessments. (2011, background): “Economic indicators (cost of production) [3,18,19,26].”
Carbon payback times for crop-based biofuel expansion in the tropics: the effects of changing yield and technology (2008, background): “…and members of the European Union, are unlikely to have the land base needed to meet their growing demand for current-generation agricultural biofuels, which are largely produced from food and feed crops (e.g., maize, oil palm, rapeseed, soy) (Brown 2004, Hill et al 2006, Nepstad et al 2008).”
