Can Brazil replace 5% of the 2025 gasoline world demand with ethanol? (2009, background): “[29] find that using Brazilian forested Cerrado for sugarcane ethanol it would take 17 years to repay what the authors call the carbon debt.”
Environmental, Economic, and Social Consequences of the Oil Palm Boom (2020, background): “Hence, relative to emissions caused by fossil fuels, biofuel production from oil palm in fact increases net CO2 emissions for decades or even centuries (Fargione et al. 2008).”
REDD in the red: palm oil could undermine carbon payment schemes (2009, background): “This outcome would have implications for carbon sequestration and biodiversity conservation because oil palm plantations are depauperate in both respects relative to natural forests (Fargione et al. 2008; Gibbs et al. 2008; Koh & Wilcove 2008a).”
Sustainable biofuels from algae (2013, background): “The very large size required for algae biofuel production means significant potential change in land use, a concern which has already been expressed in the production of biofuels from other sources such as oil palm, sugarcane and Jatropha (e.g., Fargione et al. 2008; Mathews and Tan 2009; World Ec”
Overcoming barriers to solar and wind energy adoption in two Asian giants: India and Indonesia (2019, background): “22 Degraded agricultural land (Fargione et al., 2008) or former mining land may provide suitable solar park siting locations.”
The limits of transport decarbonization under the current growth paradigm (2020, background): “On the other hand, there is also evidence that present biofuels are responsible for indirect land use change (iLUC), whose emissions are of the same magnitude order as combustion emissions of fossil fuels [37,39,40,63].”
Biodiversity conservation in the era of biofuels: risks and opportunities (2011, background): “For example, increased biofuel production has the potential to accelerate global warming and reduce freshwater supplies (Fargione et al. 2008; Evans and Cohen 2009), and increased corn production in the American Midwest may result in higher global soybean prices, which may impact land-use change in…”
