EU biofuel policies in practice : a carbon map for the Brazilian Cerrado
Söder, Mareike - 2014
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 prove such contribution....

European power struggles: Can EU's decarbonisation agenda break the state-company axis in the power sector?
Sattich, Thomas; Ydersbond, Inga; Scholten, Daniel - 2015
Europe's power system is still marked by a distinct national component, and despite some regions with strongly integrated power systems, electricity supply today still has a largely national basis. Policies to decarbonise the power sector may fundamentally alter this situation, because power...
