Growing fuel: a sustainability assessment of willow biomass crops (2004, background): “Most projections of global energy use predict that biomass will be a more important component of primary energy sources in the future, and that woody crops will be the primary source of biomass (Berndes et al. 2003).”
Renewable energy and food supply: will there be enough land? (2005, background): “applied, the yields of these plantations are estimated to be 15 Mg/ha [1].”
Bioenergy expansion in the EU: Cost-effective climate change mitigation, employment creation and reduced dependency on imported fuels (2007, background): “The regional and global potentials for biomass are uncertain (Berndes et al., 2003).”
The MIT Emissions Prediction and Policy Analysis (EPPA) Model: Version 4 (2005, methodology): “For biomass energy, we considered early estimates of global resource potential and economics (Edmonds and Reilly, 1985) and recent reviews of potential (Moreira, 2004; Berndes et al., 2003) and the economics of liquid fuels (Hamelinck et al.”
World crop residues production and implications of its use as a biofuel. (2005, background): “There has been renewed interest in biomass energy since the mid-1990s because of the quest for mitigating global climate change (Berndes et al., 2003).”
