Can numerical models estimate indirect land-use change?
Brunelle, Thierry; Dumas, Patrice - 2012
Motivated by the conclusions from various modelling studies, modifications to the bioenergy sector regulations are under way in Europe and in the USA to account for emissions from indirect land-use change (ILUC). Despite their influence on the policy-making, evaluations of the capacity of...

Who benefits really from phasing out palmoil-based biodiesel in the EU?
Delzeit, Ruth; Heimann, Tobias; Schünemann, Franziska; … - 2021
The latest Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) by the European Union (EU) provides an updated framework for the use of renewable energy in the EU transport sector until 2030. We employ the computable general equilibrium (CGE) model DART-BIO for a scenario-based policy analysis and evaluate...

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....

Costs of Meeting the Cellulosic Biofuel Mandate with Perennial Energy Crops : Implications for Policy
Miao, Ruiqing - 2015
We develop a framework to examine the extent to which farmers' risk and time preferences, availability of credit to cover establishment cost, and crop insurance for conventional crops may influence farmers' decision to allocate land to a perennial energy crop and affect the costs of meeting a...

Analysing bioenergy and land use competition in a coupled modelling system : the role of bioenergy in renewable energy policy in Germany
Delzeit, Ruth; Gömann, Horst; Holm-Müller, Karin; … - 2010
In the context of energy security and climate protection, biomass is given high importance. Nevertheless, land-use conflicts resulting from the cultivation of biomass and their economy-wide effects are yet to be fully understood. To shed light on this issue we link three distinctive models; a...
