Carbon storage and bioenergy : using forests for climate mitigation
Favero, Alice; Mendelsohn, Robert O.; Sohngen, Brent - 2016
The carbon mitigation literature has separately considered using forests to store carbon and as a source of bioenergy. In this paper, we look at both options to reach a 2°C mitigation target. This paper combines the global forest model, GTM, with the IAM WITCH model to study the optimal use of...

Evaluating the global role of woody biomass as a mitigation strategy
Favero, Alice; Mendelsohn, Robert O. - 2013
As policy makers consider stringent targets for greenhouse gas emissions, integrated assessment models are increasingly relying on biomass energy as a critical energy source. However, it is not clear how much woody biomass to expect across time and across the planet. The integrated assessment...

Trade of woody biomass for electricity generation under climate mitigation policy
Favero, Alice; Massetti, Emanuele - 2013
Bio-energy has the potential to be a key mitigation option if combined with carbon capture and sequestration (BECCS) because it generates electricity and absorbs emissions at the same time. However, biomass is not distributed evenly across the globe, and regions with a potentially high demand...

The power of biomass : experts disclose the potential for success of bioenergy technologies
Fiorese, Giulia; Catenacci, Michela; Bosetti, Valentina; … - 2013
This paper focuses on technologies which use thermo-chemical or biochemical processes to convert biomass into electricity. We present the results from an expert elicitation exercise involving sixteen leading experts coming from different EU Member States. Aim of the elicitation was to assess the...

Biofuel economics in a setting of multiple objectives & unintended consequences
Jaeger, William Kenneth; Egelkraut, Thorsten Michael - 2011
This paper examines biofuels from an economic perspective and evaluates the merits of promoting biofuel production in the context of the policies' multiple objectives, life-cycle implications, pecuniary externalities, and other unintended consequences. The policy goals most often cited are to...
