Environmental, economic, and energetic costs and benefits of biodiesel and ethanol biofuelsJason Hill
Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior, University of Minnesota, St Paul, MN 55108, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 103:11206-10. 2006....
Climate change and health costs of air emissions from biofuels and gasolineJason Hill
Department of Applied Economics, University of Minnesota, St Paul, MN 55108, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 106:2077-82. 2009..These advantages are critically dependent on the source of land used to produce biomass for biofuels, on the magnitude of any indirect land use that may result, and on other as yet unmeasured environmental impacts of biofuels...
Global food demand and the sustainable intensification of agricultureDavid Tilman
Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior, University of Minnesota, St Paul, MN 55108, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 108:20260-4. 2011..Efficient management practices could substantially lower nitrogen use. Attainment of high yields on existing croplands of underyielding nations is of great importance if global crop demand is to be met with minimal environmental impacts...
Carbon-negative biofuels from low-input high-diversity grassland biomassDavid Tilman
Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior, University of Minnesota, St Paul, MN 55108, USA
Science 314:1598-600. 2006..32 megagram hectare(-1) year(-1)). Moreover, LIHD biofuels can be produced on agriculturally degraded lands and thus need to neither displace food production nor cause loss of biodiversity via habitat destruction...
Natural and anthropogenic ethanol sources inNorth America and potential atmospheric impacts of ethanol fuel useDylan B Millet
University of Minnesota, Minneapolis St Paul, Minnesota, USA
Environ Sci Technol 46:8484-92. 2012..From the point of view of NO(x) export from North America, the increased PAN formation associated with E85 fuel use thus acts to offset the associated lower NO(x) emissions...
Solutions for a cultivated planetJonathan A Foley
Institute on the Environment IonE, University of Minnesota, 1954 Buford Avenue, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55108, USA
Nature 478:337-42. 2011..Together, these strategies could double food production while greatly reducing the environmental impacts of agriculture...
Land clearing and the biofuel carbon debtJoseph Fargione
The Nature Conservancy, 1101 West River Parkway, Suite 200, Minneapolis, MN 55415, USA
Science 319:1235-8. 2008..In contrast, biofuels made from waste biomass or from biomass grown on degraded and abandoned agricultural lands planted with perennials incur little or no carbon debt and can offer immediate and sustained GHG advantages...
