Global land availability estimates for energy crop production

Global land availability estimates for energy crop production

Current commercial and non-commercial biomass use for energy is estimated at between 20 and 60 EJ/a representing about 6 to 17 percent of the world primary energy.  Most of the biomass is used…
Biomass should be used instead of fossil energy carriers in order to reduce  i) CO2 emissions   ii) the anticipated resource scarcity of fossil fuels and   iii) need to import fuels from abroad.

Biomass should be used instead of fossil energy carriers in order to reduce i) CO2 emissions ii) the anticipated resource scarcity of fossil fuels and iii) need to import fuels from abroad.

Utilization of biomass for energy and industry allows a significant quantity of hydrocarbons to be consumed without increasing the CO2 content of the atmosphere and thus makes a positive contribution…
