- Systematic review of effects on biodiversity from oil palm production (2014, background): “Direct or indirect land use change resulting from expansion of biofuel cultivation can cause deforestation and destroy natural habitats (Lewandowski and Faaij 2006, Koh and Ghazoul 2008), which in turn may lead to the loss of biodiversity (Danielsen et al. 2009, Phalan 2009).”
- A participatory systems approach to modeling social, economic, and ecological components of bioenergy (2007, background): “Lists of criteria already exist (Lewandowski and Faaij, 2006; Smeets et al., 2005; International Energy Agency, 2006; Sustainable Bioenergy Wiki, 2006) for sustainability assessments of biomass production systems.”
- Bioenergy and sustainable development (2007, background): “18 It is possible that certification systems to promote sustainability (186) may help ensure that benefits accrue to small-scale producers, although some have pointed out the onerous burden certification can impose on small farmers (181, 187).”
- Improvements in Life Cycle Energy Efficiency and Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Corn‐Ethanol (2009, background): “…markets that allow monetization of GHG mitigation (McElroy 2007; Liska and Cassman 2008), and (3) reduce negative environmental impacts of biofuels at regional, national, and international levels (Lewandowski and Faaij 2006; Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels, http://cgse.epfl.ch/page65660.html).”
- Brazilian Biodiesel Policy: Social and environmental considerations of sustainability (2009, background): “With the growing interest for expanding the production of biofuels on a global scale, the need to establish sustainability and certification criteria has been identified by various authors [13,14].”
- Land use competition for production of food and liquid biofuels: An analysis of the arguments in the current debate (2010, methodology): “Finally, implementing biofuels certification standards, both by origin and the farming techniques used, taking into account aspects such as land use andmanagement as well as farming techniques, so as to point out that biofuels production can be sustainable over time, is certainly the way to go [32].”
- Sustainability criteria for bioenergy systems: results from an expert survey (2009, background): “20 Adaptation capacity to environmental hazards and climate change Environmental criterion Diversification of feedstocks, available knowledge on site demand of feedstocks [20,25]”
