Can Dispersed Biomass Processing Protect the Environment and Cover the Bottom Line for Biofuel?

Egbendewe-Mondzozo, Aklesso; Swinton, Scott M.; Bals, … - Department of Agricultural, Food and Resource … - 2011

This paper compares environmental and profitability outcomes for a centralized biorefinery for cellulosic ethanol that does all processing versus a biorefinery linked to a decentralized array of local depots that pretreat biomass into concentrated briquettes. The analysis uses a spatial...

Investment in soil conservation in northern Ethiopia: the role of land tenure security and public programs

Gebremedhin, Berhanu; Swinton, Scott M. - In: Agricultural Economics of Agricultural Economists 29 (2003) 1

A double hurdle statistical analysis of 250 farms in the Tigray region of Ethiopia reveals different causal factors for soil conservation adoption versus intensity of use. Farmers' reasons for adopting soil conservation measures vary sharply between stone terraces and soil bunds. Long-term...

Biomass Supply from Alternative Cellulosic Crops and Crop Residues: A Preliminary Spatial Bioeconomic Modeling Approach

Egbendewe-Mondzozo, Aklesso; Swinton, Scott M.; … - Department of Agricultural, Food and Resource … - 2010

This paper introduces a spatial bioeconomic model for study of potential cellulosic biomass supply at regional scale … biomass to a specific demand location is obtained using road distances and bulk shipping costs from geographic information … systems. The spatial mathematical programming model predicts the supply of biomass and implied environmental consequences for …
