Biodiesel carbon intensity, sustainability and effects on vehicles and emissions
This paper summarizes direct and indirect emission and sustainability impacts of biodiesel and assesses the effect of biodiesel blends from the most common feedstocks on compression ignition engine emissions and performance.
Estimating Displacement Ratios of Wheat DDGS in Animal Feed Rations in Great Britain
Bioethanol production results in a co-product, distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), that is used in the animal feed industry. It has been generally assumed that DDGS will replace both soya and cereals in animal feeds and this assumption,...
Indirect land use change in Europe (considering the policy options)
The European Commission recently released updated results of modelling by the International Food Policy Research Institute of the likely indirect effects of the EU’s biofuels mandate. We critically assess this work, concluding that while there...
IFPRI-MIRAGE 2011 modeling of indirect land use change
The European Renewable Energy and Fuel Quality Directives require the European Commission to propose, based on the best available data, a methodology to control indirect land use change emissions due to biofuels expansion. To support its impact...
