Marginal land has received wide attention for its potential to produce bioenergy feedstocks
while minimizing diversion of productive agricultural land from food crop production …

The methane produced from the anaerobic digestion of organic wastes and energy crops
represents an elegant and economical means of generating renewable biofuel. Anaerobic …

We describe a scalable, economical solution to the carbon dioxide problem. CO2 is
captured from the atmosphere by plants, and the harvested vegetation is then buried in an …

As China ramped-up coal power capacities rapidly while CO2 emissions need to decline,
these capacities would turn into stranded assets. To deal with this risk, a promising option is …

Biofuels from crops are emerging as a Jekyll & Hyde–promoted by some as a means to
offset fossil fuel emissions, denigrated by others as lacking sustainability and taking land …

Liquid biofuels can facilitate the transition towards a more sustainable transportation sector
by curbing carbon emissions while maintaining most of the current vehicle fleet. Today, a …

Environmental impacts of energy use can impose large costs on society. We quantify and
monetize the life-cycle climate-change and health effects of greenhouse gas (GHG) and fine …

Without disruptive change, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from fossil production of
chemicals and plastics will double by 2050. The transition to net-zero GHG emissions …

This study evaluates the techno-economic feasibility of an integrated biorefinery for the co-
production of furfural, lignin, and ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass (ie, switchgrass as a …

Plant biomass, or lignocellulosic biomass, is evaluated worldwide as a potential feedstock
for the sustainable production of bioenergy in the near future due to its abundance …
