The assessment of biofuel potentials on global and regional scales in the tropical world
TLDR
In this article, a method for the assessment of potential land availability in developing countries is presented, which allows for the identification of countries with the highest longterm (2050) potentials for dedicated biomass energy plantations, considering that food and feed requirements are given priority.About:

Hydrothermal liquefaction of algae and bio-oil upgrading into liquid fuels: Role of heterogeneous catalysts
Ahmad Galadima,Oki Muraza +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of catalytic systems, especially the heterogeneous catalysts during the liquefaction process, was explored, and the authors analyzed critical literature on the process catalysis and simultaneously discussed new directions for further investigations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are biofuels an efficient technology for generating sustainable development in oil-dependent African nations? A macroeconomic assessment of the opportunities and impacts in Burkina Faso
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the opportunity for substituting fossil fuels with bio-fuels in a Sahelian country, Burkina Faso, taking into account technical, agronomic and land potentials in this country.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bio-coke from upgrading of pyrolysis bio-oil for co-firing
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that low-density biomass can be transformed into high density bio-coke that can logistically be treated like coal and indicates that co-firing with biocoke can easily exceed current levels in the future.

Abigaïl Fallot,Laurent Saint-André,G. Le Maire,Jean-Paul Laclau,Yann Nouvellon,Claire Marsden,Jean-Pierre Bouillet,T. Silva,Marie-Gabrielle Piketty,Olivier Hamel +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the sustainability of eucalyptus plantations is investigated from the viewpoint of their carbon, water and nutrient budgets: they must all be neutral or positive, and a spatial model is developed to identify the conditions of biomass neutrality at the scale of the forest ecosystem.

Modelling regional scale biofuel scenarios – a case study for India
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used an integrated modelling framework to simulate land-use change and bioenergy production under two scenarios Industrial Economy (IE) and Agricultural Economy (AE) and found that meeting the 20% blending target is a challenging goal to achieve under both scenarios.

Exploration of the ranges of the global potential of biomass for energy
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the range of future world potential of biomass for energy and focused on the factors that influence the potential biomass availability for energy purposes rather than give exact numbers.
Book
Global energy : perspectives
TL;DR: The International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) and the World Energy Council (WEC) present six alternative long-term energy futures as mentioned in this paper, covering a wide range from a tremendous expansion of coal production to strict limits, from a phaseout of nuclear energy to a substantial increase, from carbon emissions in 2100 that are only one-third of today's levels to increases by more than a factor of three.
BookDOI
World Energy Outlook 2004
TL;DR: The World Energy Outlook 2004 as mentioned in this paper offers the statistical background and analytical insight out of which any solution to the world's energy problems will have to be crafted, and it includes exhaustive energy statistics and projections till the year 2030,incisive analysis of the high oil-price phenomenon and the reliability of oil reserves data.
Journal ArticleDOI
International bioenergy transport costs and energy balance
TL;DR: In this article, a tool was developed to consistently compare the possible bioenergy supply chains and assess the influence of key parameters, such as distance, timing and scale on performance, on performance.
Biomass for energy: supply prospects.
TL;DR: The most promising sites for plantations are deforested and otherwise degraded lands in developing countries and excess croplands in the industrialized countries as mentioned in this paper. But a substantial and sustained research and development effort is needed to ensure the realization and sustainability of high yields under a wide range of growing conditions.
