Bioenergy deployment offers significant potential for climate change mitigation, but also
carries considerable risks. In this review, we bring together perspectives of various …

Critical errors exist in some methodologies applied to evaluate the effects of using forest
biomass for bioenergy on atmospheric greenhouse gas emissions. The most common error …

There is a continuing debate over the role that woody bioenergy plays in climate mitigation.
This paper clarifies this controversy and illustrates the impacts of woody biomass demand …

The relationship between renewable energy and agricultural economics is an interesting
topic. In fact, the agricultural sector may be a source for renewable energies, such as biofuel …

We apply a detailed power sector model to explore the near-term role of woody biomass co-
firing at existing coal facilities in the Eastern US in the decarbonization of US electricity …

Four research-based insights are essential to understanding forest bioenergy and “carbon
debts.”(1) As long as wood-producing land remains in forest, long-lived wood products and …

This study presents a cradle-to-grave life cycle analysis (LCA) of the greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions of the electricity generated from forest biomass in different regions of the United …

There is a growing literature on the potential contributions the global forest sector could
make toward long-term climate action goals through increased carbon sequestration and the …

Bioenergy from boreal forests managed for productive purposes (eg, pulp, timber) is
commonly held to offer attractive options for climate change mitigation. However, this view …

This paper develops structural dynamic methods to project future carbon fluxes in forests.
These methods account for land management changes on both the intensive and extensive …
