Is bioenergy for the birds? An evaluation of alternative future bioenergy landscapes.
B ioenergy production—either for fuels or electricity—is the most land intensive form of energy production (1). The consequences of increased demand for land associated with bioenergy crops initially gained attention because of the implications for carbon emissions associated with land clearing (2, 3), but, more recently, the potential impacts of bioenergy’s land demand on biodiversity have gai...
متن کاملAlgae biofuels: versatility for the future of bioenergy.
The world continues to increase its energy use, brought about by an expanding population and a desire for a greater standard of living. This energy use coupled with the realization of the impact of carbon dioxide on the climate, has led us to reanalyze the potential of plant-based biofuels. Of the potential sources of biofuels the most efficient producers of biomass are the photosynthetic micro...
متن کاملSustainable Future for Bioenergy and Renewable Products
Venice, 21 September 2007 – With the 2007 report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stating the need to reduce the anthropogenic emission of greenhouse gases from fossil fuels and the directive of the European Community calling for biofuels to meet 5.75 percent of European transport needs by 2010, and 10 percent by 2020, an urgent need for action in plant sciences arises ...
متن کاملBird communities in future bioenergy landscapes of the Upper Midwest.
Mandates for biofuel and renewable electricity are creating incentives for biomass production in agricultural landscapes of the Upper Midwest. Different bioenergy crops are expected to vary in their effects on biodiversity and ecosystem services. Here, we use data from the North American Breeding Bird Survey to forecast the impact of potential bioenergy crops on avian species richness and the n...
متن کاملPlants to power: bioenergy to fuel the future.
Bioenergy should play an essential part in reaching targets to replace petroleum-based transportation fuels with a viable alternative, and in reducing long-term carbon dioxide emissions, if environmental and economic sustainability are considered carefully. Here, we review different platforms, crops, and biotechnology-based improvements for sustainable bioenergy. Among the different platforms, ...
