TL;DR: In this article, the ecological footprint (EF) has been used as a potential indicator for sustainable development over the last years, and the results of the assessment are discussed and used to discuss the current potential and limitations of the EF as a sustainable development indicator.

TL;DR: A review of eight studies, mainly on current and future US biofuel policies, provides insights in the current state of research into this topic, showing a wide range of values of the rebound effect of biofuel use, depending among others on the biofuel policy, the applied method and the model parameter assumptions as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show how improved model collaboration can strengthen our ability to project biomass supply, demand, and impacts, which in turn can aid in improving the information for policy-makers and in taking better-informed decisions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use a computable general equilibrium model and a regional energy systems model side-by-side to assess the impacts of advanced uses of biomass for bioenergy and biochemicals.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantitatively investigated the impact of plausible energy market reforms from the perspective of bio-renewables, using a state-of-the-art biobased variant of a computable general equilibrium model.
