Modeling land-use changes in a global CGE: Assessing the EU biofuel mandates with the MIRAGE-BioF model by Laborde Debucquet, David, Valin, Hugo

“…These results seriously question the sustainability of the current EU biofuels policy and emphasize the even more dramatic effect of a biodiesel-oriented EU biofuel program, which was found to emit two times more than an EU ethanol-oriented program.…”

Biofuels in India: Trading off climate mitigation with water security goals by Singh, Vartika, Mishra, Abhijeet, Alam, Mohammad Faiz, Sulser, Timothy B., Ringler, Claudia

“…Liquid biofuels, such as bioethanol and biodiesel are blended with petrol or diesel and used for road, aviation and marine transport; they are expected to account for 6% of total renewable transportation fuel use by 2030. …”

Diseases affecting oil palm by Álvarez, Elizabeth

“…The oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is one of the world’s major sources of edible oil and a precursor of biodiesel fuel. This chapter reviews the oil palm diseases which act as a major production constraint in West Africa, South East Asia and South and Central America. …”

How will Russia's invasion of Ukraine affect global food security? by Glauber, Joseph W., Laborde Debucquet, David

“…Vegetable oil prices have also been at record levels, reflecting the short South American soybean crop, reduced palm oil supplies due to harvest problems in Malaysia, and sharply increased use of palm and soybean oil for biodiesel production. Prices of key energy-intensive inputs like fuel, fertilizer, and pesticides have also been at near-record levels.…”

How Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is affecting global agricultural markets by Glauber, Joseph W., Laborde Debucquet, David

“…Ongoing fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors had already driven up food prices before Russia’s invasion.1 Poor harvests in South America, strong global demand, and supply-chain issues reduced grain and oilseed inventories, driving prices to their highest levels since 2011–13.2 Vegetable oil prices have also been at record levels, reflecting a short South American soybean crop, reduced palm oil supplies due to harvest problems in Malaysia, and sharply increased use of palm and soybean oil for biodiesel production. Prices of key energy-intensive inputs such as fuel, fertilizer, and pesticides have also been at near-record levels. …”

Cost benefit and risk analysis of biofuel production in Pakistan by Naureen, Asma

“…In conclusion, this study favours the production of jatropha biodiesel.…”

Biofuel finance: global trends in biofuel finance in forest-rich countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America and implications for governance by Gelder, J.W. van, German, L.

“…While investments in some countries are driven by domestic policies to reduce fossil fuel imports, most are export driven. Sugar-based ethanol offers more opportunities to capture value added than biodiesel feedstocks which are amenable to export and processing abroad. …”

Carbon sequestration and land rehabilitation through Jatropha curcas (L.) plantation in degraded lands by Wani, S.P., Chander, G., Sahrawat, Kanwar Lal, Srinivasa Rao C, Raghvendra G, Susanna P, Pavani M

“…Overall, a 3–5-year old plantation added per year around 4000 kg plant biomass equivalent to 1450 kg C ha−1 – 800 kg C through leaves, 150 kg C through pruned twigs, and 495 kg C as deoiled Jatropha cake. Biodiesel C replacement in the fossil fuel was 230 kg ha−1. …”

Spatially variable hidrologic impact and biomass production tradeoffs associated with Eucaliptus ( E. Grandis) cultivation for biofuel production in Entre Ríos, Argentina by Heidari, Azad, Watkins Jr, David, Mayer, Alex, Propato, Tamara Sofia, Veron, Santiago Ramón, De Abelleyra, Diego

“…Results indicate that, on average, producing 1 kg of biomass in this region uses 0.8 m3 of water, and the green water footprint of producing 1 m3 fuel is approximately 2150 m3 water, or 57 m3 water per GJ of energy, which is lower than reported values for wood based ethanol, sugar cane ethanol, and soybean biodiesel.…”
