Lignocellulosics-to-bioethanol In The Context Of Germany: Modelling Life Cycleimplications Of Policy Options

摘要

This paper compares lignocellulosic based bioethanol to traditional bioethanol regarding environmental impact focussing on greenhouse gases, considering manifold opportunities to use biomass and competitive stance to fossil energy carriers. Using a market processes simulating technique-based process chain model, it is observed that environmental impact of ligno-bioethanol depends crucially on market conditions, although relevance of market constraints varies.
