A review of biofuels in India: challenges and opportunities

TL;DR: In this article, the potential for bio-fuel to offset the use of fossil fuels and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in India is reviewed taking a systems approach through whole-lifecycle assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optimal energy performance on allocating energy crops

TL;DR: In this article, both binary programming and linear programming methods are employed to solve the allocation problem with the aim of maximising the energy balance provided by the production system, showing that the linear solution is slightly better than the binary one in the basic scenario while focussing on suggesting alternative scenarios that would have an optimal energy balance.
