1. Land and climate effects of bioenergy - Brazilian sugarcane ethanol and combined biofuel-district heating in Europe
Sammanfattning : According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, use of fossil fuels is the largest source ofthe increase in atmospheric CO2. The second largest is land use change. To reach stringent climate targets,emissions from fossil fuel combustion and land use change will need to be reduced to near zerowithin a few decades. LÄS MER
2. The interplay between atmosphere, hydrology and land use by environmental modelling
Sammanfattning : Interactions between land surface and atmosphere induced by human activities and natural environmental dynamics act on a time scale that varies from seconds to millions of years. It is by exchanging heat, water, energy and carbon that land surface and atmospheric processes are closely interrelated and influence each other in reciprocal ways. LÄS MER
3. Improving the greenhouse gas balances of bioenergy systems: The cases of Brazilian ethanol production and combined biofuel/district heat production in Europe
Sammanfattning : According to the Fourth Assessment Report of Working Group I of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the largest source of increased atmospheric CO2 concentration is fossil fuel use. The second largest is land-use change. LÄS MER
4. Assessing the sustainability of bioethanol production in different development contexts: A systems approach
Sammanfattning : The continuous depletion of fossil fuel reserves, the global agenda on climate change and threats to energy security have led to increased global interest in the exploration, production and utilisation of bioenergy and biofuels. Access to modern bioenergy carriers derived from the efficient conversion of locally available biomass resources is indispensable for economic growth, rural development and sustainable development in developing countries.

5. Exploring low-carbon development pathways for Bolivia - A model-based analysis focused on the energy sector
Sammanfattning : Global emissions have continued to rise steadily at levels exceeding the 1.5°C climate stabilization target. Therefore, the increase in the average global temperature and climate change will be determined by how we handle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions over the next years. LÄS MER
