The economic potential of bioenergy for climate change mitigation with special attention given to implications for the land system (2011, background): “First, bioenergy expansion is expected to put pressure on food and feed prices and costs of agricultural production [11].”
Studies on the Rapid Expansion of Sugarcane for Ethanol Production in São Paulo State (Brazil) Using Landsat Data (2010, background): “In addition to this increasing domestic demand, Brazil could become a major exporter of ethanol, once it can break the barriers imposed by the socio-environmental certifications proposed by potential importing countries [7,8].”
Remote Sensing Time Series to Evaluate Direct Land Use Change of Recent Expanded Sugarcane Crop in Brazil (2011, background): “The production of biofuel from sugarcane is well established in Brazil [2] and presents a great potential to mitigate GHG due to its high efficiency [3–5].”
The role of microorganisms in achieving the sustainable development goals (2018, background): “Utilization of biomass for ﬁ rst-generation biofuel production mainly relies on the fermentation of sugar, which is obtained chie ﬂ y from grains (Goldemberg, 2007).”
Biofuels in Brazil: an overview. (2007, background): “This was possible because of economies of scale and competition together with signifi cant increases in agricultural yield (Goldemberg, 2007).”
Sugarcane ethanol: contributions to climate change mitigation and the environment (2008, background): “Sugarcane grows only in tropical areas and the Brazilian experience in this area led to ethanol produced at very low cost and competitive with gasoline through gains in productivity and economies of scale (Goldemberg, 2007).”
Are biofuels a feasible option (2009, background): “In addition, if proper feedstock and agricultural practices are used ethanol reduces greenhouse gas emissions (Goldemberg, 2007).”
An overview of lignin metabolism and its effect on biomass recalcitrance (2012, background): “Sugarcane ethanol program in Brazil is the most successful example of effi cient use of renewable energy (Goldemberg 2007).”
Bioenergy and sustainable development (2007, neutral): “[8-10].”
Parameterization and Evaluation of Predictions of DSSAT/CANEGRO for Brazilian Sugarcane (2011, background): “It is one of the most important commodities in Brazilian agribusiness, contributing to the energy and food security of the country, as sugar, ethanol and biomass for energy are produced from sugarcane (Goldemberg, 2007).”
The Brazilian experience of sugarcane ethanol industry (2009, background): “…was devised to counteract the increasing petroleum price and to strategically alleviate the country’s dependence on external liquid fuel, incidentally came to be one of the best renewable liquid fuel models in the world (Goldemberg 2007; Amaral et al. 2008; FAO 2008; Goldemberg et al. 2008).”
