Land Availability for Biofuel Production
TL;DR: Under the various land use scenarios, Africa may have more than one-third, and Africa and Brazil, together, may haveMore than half of the total land available for biofuel production, based on physical conditions such as soil productivity, land slope, and climate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate change impacts on global agricultural land availability
Xiao Zhang,Ximing Cai +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided a spatially explicit estimate of the impact of climate change on worldwide agricultural land availability, considering uncertainty in climate change projections and ambiguity with regard to land classification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of climate change, policy and Water-Energy-Food nexus on hydropower development
Xiao Zhang,Hongyi Li,Hongyi Li,Zhiqun Daniel Deng,Claudia Ringler,Yang Gao,Mohamad Hejazi,L. Ruby Leung +7 more
TL;DR: A systematic review of the impacts from policy, climate change and Water-Energy-Food (W-E-F) nexus on hydropower development at global scale is presented in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Downgrading Recent Estimates of Land Available for Biofuel Production
Steffen Fritz,Linda See,Marijn van der Velde,Rachel A. Nalepa,Christoph Perger,Christoph Perger,Christian Schill,Ian McCallum,Dmitry Schepaschenko,Florian Kraxner,Ximing Cai,Xiao Zhang,Simone Ortner,Rubul Hazarika,Anna Cipriani,Anna Cipriani,Carlos Marcelo Di Bella,Ahmed Harb Rabia,Alfredo Garcia,Mar’yana Vakolyuk,Kuleswar Singha,Maria Eugenia Beget,Stefan Erasmi,Franziska Albrecht,Brian Shaw,Michael Obersteiner +25 more
TL;DR: These numbers should not be considered as definitive estimates but should be used to highlight the uncertainty in attempting to quantify land availability for biofuel production when using coarse-resolution inputs with implications for further policy development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vulnerability of US thermoelectric power generation to climate change when incorporating state-level environmental regulations
Lu Liu,Lu Liu,Mohamad Hejazi,Mohamad Hejazi,Mohamad Hejazi,Hongyi Li,Hongyi Li,Barton A. Forman,Xiao Zhang +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the vulnerability of thermoelectric power generation in the United States to climate change by coupling an Earth system model with a thermal power generation model, including state-level representation of environmental regulations on thermal effluents.
