Dynamic analysis of biomass resources with a global land use and energy model
The purpose of the present study is to evaluate global bioenergy potential in consideration of land use competition using a global land use and energy model (GLUE) formulated with a system dynamics (SD) technique and a biomass balance table (BBT) that can show overall biomass flow and bioenergy potential quantitatively. Through a set of simulations, the following results were obtained: (1) The ...

DOE Announces Funding for Bioenergy Research and Development Projects
On September 4, 2018, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced its support for projects in Bioenergy Research and Development. The projects total about $80 million and address early-stage research and development in the hopes of achieving DOE’s goal of reducing biobased costs in fuels by 2022. Funding for these projects comes from four different programs: BioEnergy Engineering for ...

Potential of energy production by Chinese farmers to fuel rural development
The role of farmers as future energy producers of China is explored within a fast changing rural economy. Data on rural households energy demand, socio-economic and environmental data are used from a household survey with a geographical spread over China. A concept of a more flexible energy production system, i.e., Biomass-Based Distributed Polygeneration (BB-DPG) is introduced. Through a more ...

EU bioenergy potential from a resource efficiency perspective
The bioenergy challenge The European Union has set itself the ambitious target to increase the share of renewable sources in final energy consumption to 20 % by 2020 (EC, 2009). This is motivated by the widespread recognition that using fossil fuels to generate energy causes significant harm to the environment and human well.being. Renewable energy technologies offer a way to increase resource ...

Security and sustainability strategies for energy innovation systems
The peaking of world oil production presents the world with an unprecedented energy crisis. In the midst of global oil supply concerns, bio-based energy is seen as a new challenge to help solve energy shortage. Bio-based energy is seen as the next new wave for future businesses and strategies for sustainable development. The study discusses the diffusion model of the energy industry under its ...

Energy systems in transition: perspectives for the diffusion of small-scale wood pellet heating technology
Promising small-scale wood pellet heating systems with sizable market potentials have started to penetrate the residential heating market in Europe and elsewhere. Despite significant technological progress, cost reduction, improved convenience and reliability, and reduced environmental impact, diffusion of such systems will nonetheless take time. Framework and market conditions, and especially ...
