Biofuels from algae: technology options, energy balance and GHG emissions
During the last decades, algae received increasing interest as potential source of advanced biofuels production resulting in a considerable attention from research, industry and policy makers. We report on the current-status of technology options for the potential exploitation of algae (of both macroand microalgae species) in the biofuels and bioenergy sectors. We presents a comprehensive revie...
متن کاملEffects of the land use change on ecosystem service value
The impacts of land utilization change on the ecosystem service values in Daqing during 1995 to 2015 were analyzed based on unit area ecosystem service value of Chinese territorial ecosystem from Mr. Xie Gaodi and ecosystem service value calculation formula from Costanza. Results showed that the ecosystem service value of Daqing decreased from US $4343.1559m in 1995 to US $3824.327m in 2015, wi...
متن کاملOpinion Mining: Taking into account the Criteria!
Today we are more and more provided with information expressing opinions about different topics. In the same way, the number of Web sites giving a global score, usually by counting the number of stars for instance, is also growing extensively and this kind of tools can be very useful for users interested by having a general idea. Nevertheless, sometimes the expressed score (e.g. the number of s...
متن کاملImpacts of biofuels on climate change, water use, and land use.
Governments worldwide are promoting the development of biofuels in order to mitigate the climate impact of using fuels. In this article, I discuss the impacts of biofuels on climate change, water use, and land use. I discuss the overall metric by which these impacts have been measured and then present and discuss estimates of the impacts. In spite of the complexities of the environmental and te...
متن کاملUse of U.S. croplands for biofuels increases greenhouse gases through emissions from land-use change.
Most prior studies have found that substituting biofuels for gasoline will reduce greenhouse gases because biofuels sequester carbon through the growth of the feedstock. These analyses have failed to count the carbon emissions that occur as farmers worldwide respond to higher prices and convert forest and grassland to new cropland to replace the grain (or cropland) diverted to biofuels. By usin...
