1. At the crossroads of bioenergy and agriculture in developing countries : Challenges and prospects for fossil fuels replacement and CO2 abatement in the case of Thailand
Abstract : Studies estimate that the potential contribution of biomass to the global primary energy supply from cultivation of crops for energy is substantial in the long term, from about 50 to 240 EJ/year in 2050. Most of this biomass is projected to come from cultivation in developing countries. READ MORE

3. Empirical models for estimating volume and biomass of poplars on farmland in Sweden
Abstract : There is growing interest in establishing short-rotation poplar plantations in Sweden, primarily as a future feedstock for bioenergy. Cost-efficient planning and effective management of these plantations would be greatly facilitated by robust equations for estimating the taper, volume and height of poplar trees, and the biomass of poplar stumps and roots.

5. Perspectives on Climate Policy : Induced technological change, land competition and global income inequality
Abstract : Emissions of carbon dioxide enhance the natural greenhouse effect, which may cause higher average global surface temperatures. To avoid climate change, carbon emissions must decrease or carbon must be removed from the atmosphere. In order to achieve this, intervening policies are necessary. READ MORE
