• Allocation issues in LCA methodology: a case study of corn stover-based fuel ethanol (2009, background): “…focusing particularly on two main aims behind the use of biofuels: life cycle fossil energy efficiency and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Gnansounou et al., 2008; Kim and Dale, 2005a; Liska et al., 2009; Macedo, 1998; Nguyen and Gheewala, 2008a; von Blottnitz and Curran, 2007; Zah et al., 2007).”
• Nitrogen Use Efficiency of Irrigated Corn for Three Cropping Systems in Nebraska (2011, background): “Fertilizer N production has important environmental implications with an average of ~2.55 kg CO 2 emitted per kg fertilizer N fi xed and transported (Liska et al., 2009).”
• Well-to-wheels energy use and greenhouse gas emissions of ethanol from corn, sugarcane and cellulosic biomass for US use (2012, background): “Nonetheless, the life-cycle GHG emissions of bioethanol, especially those of corn-based ethanol, have been subject to debate (Farrell et al 2006, Fargione et al 2008, Searchinger et al 2008, Liska et al 2009, Wang et al 2011a, Khatiwada et al 2012).”
• Energy and cost analyses of biodiesel production from waste cooking oil (2014, background): “Some researchers have estimated the net energy balance for biofuels derived from, corn ethanol [21–23], sugar cane ethanol [24], cassava ethanol [25,26], and soybean biodiesel [27], by calculating the net energy value (NEV) or net energy ratio (NER).”
• Competitiveness of Brazilian sugarcane ethanol compared to US corn ethanol (2010, methodology): “For 2006-2008 average corn and ATR prices, corn ethanol is less expensive than sugarcane ethanol up to an exchange rate of US$1=R$2.48, at which point sugarcane ethanol gains the cost advantage.”
