A review of assessments conducted on bio-ethanol as a transportation fuel from a net energy, greenhouse gas, and environmental life cycle perspective
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared 47 published assessments that compare bio-ethanol systems to conventional fuel on a life cycle basis, or using life cycle assessment (LCA), and found that impacts on acidification, human toxicity, occurring mainly during the growing and processing of biomass, were more often unfavourable than favourable.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
