BIOFUEL CO-PRODUCTS AS LIVESTOCK FEED Opportunities and challenges FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS
Many countries have adopted policies that support expanded production and use of liquid biofuels for transportation. These policies are intended to enhance domestic energy security, spur economic development and reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) and other pollutants. Biofuel policies, along with changing energy market fundamentals, have contributed to a significant increase in global b...
متن کاملBiofuels and Their Co-Products as Livestock Feed: Global Economic and Environmental Implications.
This review studies biofuel expansion in terms of competition between conventional and advanced biofuels based on bioenergy potential. Production of advanced biofuels is generally more expensive than current biofuels because products are not yet cost competitive. What is overlooked in the discussion about biofuel is the contribution the industry makes to the global animal feed supply and land u...
متن کاملImplications of the Biofuels Boom for the Global Livestock Industry: A Computable General Equilibrium Analysis*
The past decade has seen rapid growth in the global biofuels sector – particularly in the US and the EU. This has had important implications for the global livestock industry – both by raising the cost of feed grains and oilseeds and by forcing onto the market a large supply of biofuel by-products, many of which end up in livestock feed rations. This paper systematically investigates the impact...
متن کاملAlfalfa: Potential for New Feed and Biofuel – Usdfrc Research Update
Alfalfa hay is a major crop supporting U.S ruminant livestock industry, particularly dairy. Several cellulosic feedstocks will be needed to meet current ethanol production goals. Alfalfa has considerable potential as a feedstock for production of ethanol and other industrial materials because of its high biomass production, perennial nature, ability to provide its own nitrogen fertilizer, and v...
متن کاملGlucose-based Biofuel Cells: Nanotechnology as a Vital Science in Biofuel Cells Performance
Nanotechnology has opened up new opportunities for the design of nanoscale electronic devices suitable for developing high-performance biofuel cells. Glucose-based biofuel cells as green energy sources can be a powerful tool in the service of small-scale power source technology as it provides a latent potential to supply power for various implantable medical electronic devices. By using physiol...
