TLDR
In this paper, a framework to quantify the performances of the various possible carbon flows on global warming impacts is formulated, and the analysis is focused on eight scenarios of various carbon flows encompassing biomass decomposition in fields and its alternative utilization as bioenergy feedstocks.About:

Environmental and energy assessment of biomass residues to biochar as fuel: A brief review with recommendations for future bioenergy systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the environmental and energy benefits of biomass residues, including crop residues and agricultural waste, for the production of renewable energy in the form of biochar as fuel, in order to offer recommendations for policy makers, by reviewing information regarding the key environmental issues associated with the implementation of the systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of environmental impact of biomass power plants to increase the social acceptance of renewable energy technologies
TL;DR: The results show that the size of the biomass energy plant and the feedstock used (forest or sawmill woodchip) are two main variables that influence many categories of environmental impact.

Use of U.S. Croplands for Biofuels Increases Greenhouse Gases Through Emissions from Land-Use Change
Tim Searchinger,Ralph E. Heimlich,Richard A. Houghton,Fengxia Dong,Amani Elobeid,Jacinto F. Fabiosa,Simla Tokgoz,Dermot J. Hayes,Tun-Hsiang Yu +8 more
TL;DR: This article found that corn-based ethanol, instead of producing a 20% savings, nearly doubled greenhouse emissions over 30 years and increased greenhouse gases for 167 years, by using a worldwide agricultural model to estimate emissions from land-use change.

CO2 emissions from biomass combustion for bioenergy: atmospheric decay and contribution to global warming
Francesco Cherubini,Glen P. Peters,Terje Koren Berntsen,Anders Hammer Strømman,Edgar G. Hertwich +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a method to estimate the climate impact of CO2 emissions from biomass combustion is proposed, which uses CO2 impulse response functions (IRF) from C cycle models in the elaboration of atmospheric decay functions for biomass-derived CO 2 emissions.

Goodbye to carbon neutral: Getting biomass footprints right
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a carbon stock change line item to account for land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) data to make carbon footprint estimates more consistent with UNFCCC reporting requirements.
