Carbon and environmental footprinting of global biofuel production
TLDR
The carbon and environmental footprints associated with the global production of biofuels have been computed from a baseline of 2007-2009 out until 2019 as discussed by the authors, where the overall environmental footprint was disaggregated into bioproductive land, built land, carbon, embodied energy, materials and waste, transport, and water components.About:

Systems integration for global sustainability
Jianguo Liu,Harold A. Mooney,Vanessa Hull,Steven J. Davis,Joanne Gaskell,Thomas W. Hertel,Jane Lubchenco,Karen C. Seto,Peter H. Gleick,Claire Kremen,Shuxin Li +10 more
TL;DR: Systems integration for global sustainability is poised for more rapid development, and transformative changes aimed at connecting disciplinary silos are needed to sustain an increasingly telecoupled world.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progress in biofuel production from gasification
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the progress in gasification techniques and key generation pathways for biofuel production, process design and integration and socio-environmental impacts of biofuel generation are discussed, with the goal of investigating gasification-to-biofuels credentials as a sustainable and eco-friendly technology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of evolution, technology and sustainability assessments of biofuel production
TL;DR: In this article, the state of the art of technologies and assessment methods on economic performance, safety, health and environment (SHE) as well as social impact for biofuel production are reviewed.

Toward a functional integration of anaerobic digestion and pyrolysis for a sustainable resource management. Comparison between solid-digestate and its derived pyrochar as soil amendment
Florian Monlau,Matteo Francavilla,Cecilia Sambusiti,N. Antoniou,Abderrahim Solhy,Angela Libutti,Anastasia Zabaniotou,Anastasia Zabaniotou,Abdellatif Barakat,Massimo Monteleone +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed screening of the physical and chemical properties of both solid-digestate and pyrochar was performed, inferring their effects on soil quality, and the results showed that while P and K are enriched in pyrochamber, total N showed no significant differences.

Alternative thermochemical routes for aviation biofuels via alcohols synthesis: Process modeling, techno-economic assessment and comparison
Konstantinos Atsonios,Michael-Alexander Kougioumtzis,Kyriakos D. Panopoulos,Emmanuel Kakaras +3 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the conceptual process design for the production of branched paraffins with high carbon number, based on the upgrading of alcohols synthesized from biomass-derived syngas and the economic evaluation and comparison with the Fischer-Tropsh (FT) process and biochemical pathways are described and modeled in ASPENPlus™.
