A biorefinery may produce multiple fuels from more than one feedstock. The ability of these to qualify as the four types biofuels under US Renewable Fuel Standard and achieve a low carbon intensity score California's Low Carbon can be strongly influenced by approach taken their life cycle analysis (LCA). For example, in facilities that co-produce corn grain stover ethanol, ethanol production processes share combined heat power (CHP) is produced lignin liquid residues production. We examine...
Abstract Harvesting corn stover for biofuel production may decrease soil organic carbon ( SOC ) and increase greenhouse gas GHG emissions. Adding additional matter into or reducing tillage intensity, however, could potentially offset this loss. Here, using life cycle analysis LCA models, we evaluated the impacts of land management change LMC ), that is, removal, addition, on spatially explicit level biofuels’ overall emissions in US corn–soybean systems. Results indicate under conventional...
Crude oil is currently transported primarily by pipelines and rail from extraction sites to refineries around the world. This research evaluates energy use greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for three scenarios (synthetic crude dilbit with without diluent return) in which 750 000 bpd of Alberta's bitumen 3000 km determine method has a lower environmental impact. Each scenario pipeline pathway, return an additional heated does not require diluent. An Excel based bottom-up model developed using...
