Abstract Life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology is increasingly used to determine the potential environmental impacts of biofuels and bioenergy. This paper presents outcomes screening LCAs 13 future energy crops for Europe summarizing results EC‐funded project 4F CROPS – Future Crops Food, Feed, Fiber Fuel . For analysis, these dedicated representing seven zones in are combined with a multitude processing utilization options, resulting 120 different biofuel bioenergy chains. Compared fossil...
Bioenergy policies affect both the environment and biomass availability for food, feed, fiber on a national international scale. To support policy makers, knowledge methods from different scientific disciplines in form of integrated assessments is necessary. Therefore we developed MILESTONES framework which models links between bioenergy system global land-use as an modeling approach. It builds set three well-tested (MAGNET, LandSHIFT BENSIM). The prototype's functionality was demonstrated...
Abstract Bioenergy is an important renewable energy carrier with uncertainties in future development due to sustainability issues. Its further requires a robust bioenergy strategy on national level. To provide these elements, dedicated approach was developed, which includes new modeling framework, impact assessment, and stakeholder involvement. Demonstrating the example of Germany, four utilization scenarios for period up 2050 have been assessed using seven indicators that cover aspects from...
The textile sector is responsible for a number of environmental impacts, e.g., climate change, and not pursuing sustainable production consumption patterns. Due to the increasing quantities textiles, their share rising, trend reversal from linear circular chain needed. This article presents background, methodological approach results participatory development model. In commercial B2B sector, three prototypes were developed together with users trialled over several months in application...
The textile sector is responsible for a number of environmental impacts. Due to the in-creasing quantities textiles, their share rising and trend reversal from linear circular chain needed. This article presents background, methodological approach results participatory development model. In commercial B2B sector, three prototypes were developed together with users trialled over several months in application areas. Textile took into account requirements fibre regeneration product design...
Excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) is a well-established procedure which frequently applied to correct myopia. Since structural alterations of the corneal epithelium occur after treatment, different drug permeation can be assumed. To investigate effects PRK on permeation, excimer ablations with varying depths were performed isolated pig eyes. The lipophilic (diclofenac-sodium; D-Na) and hydrophilic (pilocarpine-hydrochloride; P-HCl model drugs studied in vitro. Under these...
