Session 8: Biofuels Logistics and Sustainability | |||
The potential of lignocellulosic biomass to supply humanity with renewable fuels and chemicals is significant but constrained by environmental sustainability considerations such as land availability, soil quality and water use. Papers in this session will examine these and other sustainability issues that must be understood for the bioenergy industry to rapidly grow. | |||
