The experience curve theory and its application in the field of electricity generation technologies – A literature review (2018, background): “For biomass feedstock (not shown in Table A-5), learning rates of about 10% to 45% have been found in the literature [23,100,101].”
A review of learning rates for electricity supply technologies (2015, background): “…U.S. Panel 22% Specific sale price ($/kW peak) Cumulative installed capacity (MW) Swanson (2006) 1979–2005 U.S. PV modules 19% Module ASP ($2002) Cumulative production (MW) Van Sark et al. (2008) 1976–2006 Global PV modules 21% (but also discuss different PR for dif- ferent time periods)…”
Competitiveness of Brazilian sugarcane ethanol compared to US corn ethanol (2010, background): “Hettinga et al. (2009) also compared US production cost of ethanol with that of sugarcane ethanol production in Brazil using the results reported by Van den Wall Bake et al. (2009) and reported that total production cost of sugarcane ethanol in Brazil is 39% lower than corn ethanol in the US, in 200”

Understanding the reductions in US corn ethanol production costs: an experience curve approach (2009, background): “Van den Wall Bake et al. (2008) describes this sensitiveness and for 2004 costs an average exchange rate of 3.6 R$ has been used Table 7 presents a comparison on several key parameters.”
Outlook for ethanol production costs in Brazil up to 2030, for different biomass crops and industrial technologies (2015, background): “Historically, yield has been the main driver for the observed trend in cultivation costs of sugarcane [11] and eucalyptus [45].”
