The goal of this technical paper is to present in a transparent way a detailed description of the DART-BIO model - the bioeconomy and land use version of the DART model. Key feature of the DART-BIO model is the explicit representation of the vegetable oil industry and the biofuel sector. The...

The contribution of biofuels to save greenhouse gas emissions has been challenged over the last years. A still unresolved question is how to quantify emissions from indirect land use change (iLUC). In this paper we review approaches to quantify iLUC-emissions. We conclude that economic...

Wir geben eine Übersicht über den Stand des Wissens zu den Klimafolgen für den deutschen Pflanzenbau und generieren modellbasierte, quantitative und räumlich differenzierte Simulationen zu den Ertragsveränderungen der wichtigsten deutschen Ackerkulturen bis zur Mitte des Jahrhunderts. Zur...

It is still difficult for biofuel producers to prove the contribution of their biofuels to reducing carbon emissions because the production of biofuel feedstocks can cause land use change (LUC), which in turn causes carbon emissions. A carbon map can serve as a basis to proof such contribution....
