  1. 1. At the crossroads of bioenergy and agriculture in developing countries : Challenges and prospects for fossil fuels replacement and CO2 abatement in the case of Thailand

    Författare :Wathanyu Amatayakul; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; bioenergy plantations; land-use decision; developing countries; CO2 abatement; ethanol program; Thailand; wood crops; CDM;

    Sammanfattning : Studies estimate that the potential contribution of biomass to the global primary energy supply from cultivation of crops for energy is substantial in the long term, from about 50 to 240 EJ/year in 2050. Most of this biomass is projected to come from cultivation in developing countries. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Land Use in Climate Policy - Forest Based Options at Local Level with Cases from India

    Författare :Matilda Palm; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Carbon sequestration; sustainable development; bioenergy; afforestation; CDM; rural development; rural development;

    Sammanfattning : With India’s large population, an increased pressure on forest and agricultural land indicate a growing demand for environmental services that is sustainable for the future. Fertile agricultural land is limited and with an increased demand for energy production the development expands to degraded lands, the wasteland. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Empirical models for estimating volume and biomass of poplars on farmland in Sweden

    Författare :Birger Hjelm; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : There is growing interest in establishing short-rotation poplar plantations in Sweden, primarily as a future feedstock for bioenergy. Cost-efficient planning and effective management of these plantations would be greatly facilitated by robust equations for estimating the taper, volume and height of poplar trees, and the biomass of poplar stumps and roots.

  5. 4. Exploring synergies between the palm oil industry and bioenergy production in Indonesia

    Författare :Fumi Harahap; Semida Silveira; Dilip Khatiwada; José Roberto Moreira; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; palm oil industry; bioenergy; resource efficiency; sustainability; land allocation; palm oil biomass; biorefinery; policy coherence analysis; techno-economic analysis; spatio-temporal optimisation model; BeWhere Indonesia; Energy Technology; Energiteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Climate change along with increasing demand for food and fuel call for sustainable use of natural resources. One way to address these concerns is through efficient use of resources, which is also vital for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Perspectives on Climate Policy : Induced technological change, land competition and global income inequality

    Författare :Fredrik Hedenus; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : Emissions of carbon dioxide enhance the natural greenhouse effect, which may cause higher average global surface temperatures. To avoid climate change, carbon emissions must decrease or carbon must be removed from the atmosphere. In order to achieve this, intervening policies are necessary. LÄS MER
