'Food versus Fuel' presents a high-level introduction to the science and economics behind well-worn debate, that will debunk myths provide quality facts figures for academics practitioners in development studies, environment agricultural studies. Compiled by an internationally renowned scientist authority, include perspectives from 'pro' 'anti' biofuels experts activists, North South, aim of this book is bring balanced approach current debate on major issues affecting concise clear manner...
Abstract Across energy, agricultural and forestry landscapes, the production of biomass for energy has emerged as a controversial driver land‐use change. We present novel, simple methodology, to probe potential global sustainability limits bioenergy over time provision climate change mitigation using complex‐systems approach assessing dynamics. Primary that could provide between 70 EJ year −1 360 , globally, by 2050 was simulated in context different futures, food diet patterns efforts. Our...
A key objective of this paper is to provide an assessment the current and future situation on “food versus fuel” debate contribute possible alternatives minimise or avoid conflict. The has centred three main areas: (i) food biofuel production, (ii) their positive negative effects (i.e., GHG, climate change, broader environment), (iii) a socioeconomic impact. been controversial because it largely driven by politics, ethical/moral considerations, vested interests rather than science. focuses...
The maritime transportation sector (MTS) is undertaking a major global effort to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG), e.g., sulfur oxides, nitrogen and the concentration particulates in suspension. Substantial investment necessary develop alternative sustainable fuels, engines, fuel modifications. fuels considered this study include liquified natural gas, nuclear energy, hydrogen, electricity, biofuels. This paper focuses on biofuels, particular fast pyrolysis bio-oil (FPBO), serious...
