Regional carbon dioxide implications of forest bioenergy production
Policies are being developed worldwide to increase bioenergy production as a substitution for fossil fuel to mitigate fossil fuelderived carbon dioxide emissions, the main cause of anthropogenic global climate change4,5. However, the capacity for forest sector bioenergy production to offset carbon dioxide emissions is limited by fossil fuel emissions from this activity (harvest, transport, and ...
متن کاملCarbon accounting of forest bioenergy
Via a detailed analysis and review of the currently available literature, this work aims at clarifying the phenomena, physical and mathematical, underpinning the methodologies and results in forest bioenergy carbon accounting. The large scale techno-economic models indicate that an increased forest stemwood removal for bioenergy purposes may cause either a decrease of the forest carbon stock (o...
متن کاملGlobal spatially explicit CO2 emission metrics for forest bioenergy
Emission metrics aggregate climate impacts of greenhouse gases to common units such as CO2-equivalents (CO2-eq.). Examples include the global warming potential (GWP), the global temperature change potential (GTP) and the absolute sustained emission temperature (aSET). Despite the importance of biomass as a primary energy supplier in existing and future scenarios, emission metrics for CO2 from f...
متن کاملForest Sustainability and Carbon Balance of EU Importation of North American Forest Biomass for Bioenergy Production
The context Biomass for energy plays a significant role in the EU renewable energy picture, with bioenergy expected to remain a key strategy for both the near and long term. Although biomass supplies within EU Member States are substantial, it will nonetheless be necessary to import significant volumes of fuel pellets and other forms of biomass in order to meet ambitious EU renewable energy tar...
متن کاملRegional carbon dynamics in monsoon Asia and its implications for the global carbon cycle
Data on three major determinants of the carbon storage in terrestrial ecosystems are used with the process-based Terrestrial Ecosystem Model (TEM) to simulate the combined effect of climate variability, increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration, and cropland establishment and abandonment on the exchange of CO2 between the atmosphere and monsoon Asian ecosystems. During 1860–1990, modeled results...
