Journal ArticleDOI
An overview of second generation biofuel technologies.
TL;DR: The biochemical route, being less mature, probably has a greater cost reduction potential than the thermo-chemical route, but here a wider range of synthetic fuels can be produced to better suit heavy truck, aviation and marine applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon emission and mitigation cost comparisons between fossil fuel, nuclear and renewable energy resources for electricity generation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the electricity generation costs of a number of current commercial technologies with technologies expected to become commercially available within the coming decade or so, and the amount of greenhouse gas emissions resulting per kWh of electricity generated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy crops: current status and future prospects
TL;DR: In this article, the potential of energy crops to contribute to global energy demand and climate mitigation over the next few decades, and examine the future prospects, is examined, based on a new analysis based on energy crop areas for each of the IPCC SRES scenarios in 2025.
Journal ArticleDOI
Renewable energy: a response to climate change
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions and the role that the global renewable energy industry might play in this regard, and compare the costs of renewable energy systems with fossil fuel-derived energy services and consider how placing a value on carbon emissions will help provide convergence.
