Abstract The ongoing debate about costs and benefits of wood‐pellet based bioenergy production in the southeastern United States ( SE USA ) requires an understanding science context influencing market decisions associated with its sustainability. Production pellets has garnered much attention as US exports have grown from negligible amounts early 2000s to 4.6 million metric tonnes 2015. Currently, 98% these pellet are shipped Europe displace coal power plants. We ask, ‘How is wood affecting...
Diverse communities are often considered to be more stable and productive. To mitigate adapt climate change overcome energy insecurities, international, national local need decentralised alternatives complement support traditional centralised systems. Policies with top-down targets promote the quick fix rather than most sustainable scheme, institutional social barriers inhibit action needed identify, plan deliver valuable appropriate alternatives. For diversity sustainability, how can...
Abstract Low‐cost sustainable biomass availability in the European Union may not be able to meet increasing demand; exploring option of importing is therefore imperative for years come. This article assesses export potential from Brazil, Colombia, Indonesia, Kenya, Ukraine, and United States by applying a number sustainability criteria. Only types with highest are selected, take advantage economies scale, e.g. pulpwood, wood waste, residues States, agricultural Ukraine. study found that,...
Abstract Water quality is a measurement of the biological, chemical, and physical characteristics water against certain standards set to ensure ecological and/or human health. Biomass production conversion fuels electricity can impact in lakes, rivers, aquifers with consequences for aquatic ecosystem health also uses. Depending on how bioenergy system located managed, it lead both deterioration improvements. This review focuses effects quality, ways quantify these effects, options reducing...
Abstract Mexico's government has introduced a Law on Climate Change that is unique worldwide; it establishes targets for greenhouse gases reductions at the same level of developed countries despite being an emerging country. This reform represents crucial challenge electrical and transport sectors largely dependent fossil energy since Mexico ninth‐largest oil producer in world. Local industry academic are called to lead introduction renewable sources, particularly enhance share from biomass...
Energy supply for clean cooking is a priority Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG, i.e., propane or butane mixture of both) an economically efficient, energy solution used by over 2.5 billion people worldwide and scaled up in numerous low- middle-income countries (LMICs). Investigation the technical, policy, economic physical requirements producing LPG from renewable feedstocks (bioLPG) finds feasibility at scale Africa. Biogas syngas circular repurposing municipal solid...
Targets for bioenergy have been set worldwide to mitigate climate change. Although feedstock sources are often ambiguous, pledges in European nations, the United States and Brazil amount more than 100 Mtoe of biorenewable fuel production by 2020. As a consequence, biofuel sector is developing rapidly, it increasingly important distinguish options that can address energy security greenhouse gas mitigation from those cannot. This paper evaluates how affects land-use change (LUC), what extent...
Abstract Projections show that biomass will remain important for reaching future EU renewable energy targets. In addition to using domestic biomass, European bioenergy markets also partly rely on imports of in particular trade‐oriented member states like the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Belgium, and Denmark. There has been a lot debate sustainability (imported) how policy should deal with this. this research, therefore, we defined long‐term strategies sustainable markets. We used input...
Over 640 million people in Africa are expected to rely on solid-fuels for cooking by 2040. In Western Kenya, inefficiently persists as a major cause of burden disease due household air pollution. Efficient biomass is local-based renewable energy solution address this issue. The Life-Cycle Assessment tool Simapro 8.5 applied analyzing the environmental impact four strategies Kisumu County, with analysis based previous modelling study, and literature background data from Ecoinvent...
This paper synthesizes lessons learnt from research that aimed to identify land in the dryland regions of eight sub-Saharan African study countries where bioenergy feedstocks production has a low risk detrimental environmental and socio-economic effects. The methodology involved using geographical information systems (GISs) interrogate wide range datasets, aerial photograph field verification, an extensive literature review, obtaining stakeholders. GIS work revealed Africa's drylands...
