TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyse the environmental performance of different biogas to electricity scenarios and identify two criticalities: the choice of feedstock and the operational practice concerning the digestate.

TL;DR: On-farm manure anaerobic digestion with the production of electricity is an effective technology to significantly reduce global environmental impacts of dairy farms (GHG emissions and non-renewable energy consumption), however local impacts may increase as a consequence (especially photochemical ozone formation).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the environmental and economic performance of an innovative agrivoltaic system built on tensile structures (Agrovoltaico®) in the Po Valley.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the dataset from the latest European Commission document on the sustainability of solid and gaseous biomass (SWD2014 259), complementing those results by: i) designing three pathways for domestic-heat production using forest logging residues, with different combustion technologies; ii) expanding the analysis to include forest carbon stock development with and without bioenergy; iii) using absolute climate metrics to assess the surface temperature response by the end of the century to a bioenergy and a reference fossil system.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the climate change mitigation potential of three bioenergy power plants fuelled by residual biomass compared to a fossil system based on the European power generation mix using the Attributional Life Cycle Assessment (A-LCA).
