Although LCA is standardized, its application to biofuels leads to inconclusive results often fraught by a high variability and uncertainty. This is due to differences in quantifying the environmental impacts of feedstock production, and the difficulties encountered when considering land use changes (LUC) effects. The occurrence of LUC mechanisms is in part the consequence of policies supporting the use of biofuels in the transport sector, which implicitly increases the competition between various possible uses of land worldwide. Here, we review the methodologies recently put forward to include LUC effects in LCAs, and examples from the US, Europe and France.

Andean grasslands (p\uffc3\uffa1ramos) are highly valued for their role in regional water supply as well as for their biodiversity and large soil carbon stocks. Several Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) programmes promote either afforestation or alteration of traditional burning regimes under the assumption that these land management strategies will maximize p\uffc3\uffa1ramo ecosystem services, including carbon storage. However, knowledge of the effects of incentivized land uses is limited. In an evaluation of how afforestation and elimination of burning affect carbon storage at a site in southern Ecuador, we found the highest above-ground biomass carbon levels at afforested sites (99.3\uffe2\uff80\uff93122.0 t C ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921), while grassland sites reached 23.9 t C ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921after 45 years of burn exclusion. Soil carbon storage from 0\uffe2\uff80\uff9320 cm was high across all sites (172.8\uffe2\uff80\uff93201.9 t C ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921), but was significantly lower with afforestation than with burn exclusion. These findings suggest that, although afforestation is generally favoured when carbon is the primary ecosystem service of interest, grasslands with infrequent burning have important potential as a land management strategy when both above-ground biomass and soil carbon are considered. These results are relevant to the development and adaptation of PES programmes focused on carbon as well as those focused on multiple ecosystem services.

Plants adapt to fluctuating environmental conditions by adjusting their metabolism and gene expression to maintain fitness1. In legumes, nitrogen homeostasis is maintained by balancing nitrogen acquired from soil resources with nitrogen fixation by symbiotic bacteria in root nodules2\uffe2\uff80\uff938. Here we show that zinc, an essential plant micronutrient, acts as an intracellular second messenger that connects environmental changes to transcription factor control of metabolic activity in root nodules. We identify a transcriptional regulator, FIXATION UNDER NITRATE (FUN), which acts as a sensor, with zinc controlling the transition between an inactive filamentous megastructure and an active transcriptional regulator. Lower zinc concentrations in the nodule, which we show occur in response to higher levels of soil nitrate, dissociates the filament and activates FUN. FUN then directly targets multiple pathways to initiate breakdown of the nodule. The zinc-dependent filamentation mechanism thus establishes a concentration readout to adapt nodule function to the environmental nitrogen conditions. In a wider perspective, these results have implications for understanding the roles of metal ions in integration of environmental signals with plant development and optimizing delivery of fixed nitrogen in legume crops.Due to the large-scale disappearance of grasslands there is an urgent need for revitalization. It calls for consistent and accessible monitoring and mapping plans, and an integrated management approach. However, revitalization efforts often focus solely on the vegetation component, and skip the link to other animal species that perform vital functions as ecosystem engineers and umbrella species. In this study, we combine an in-situ standard phytocoenological survey with an UAV-based technology in the effort to improve the monitoring and mapping of the sandy steppe habitat of the European ground squirrel (Spermophilus citellus; EGS), undergoing revitalization in the northern Serbia. It is a model organism of an animal species that enables identifying habitat quality and quantity indicators to understand the broader implications of the ecosystem revitalization efforts on the wildlife populations. The proposed approach tested whether the commercially available RGB sensor and a relatively high flight height of the UAV have discriminative capacity to aid site managers by mapping identified steppe development stages (specific plant assemblages, reflecting different habitat types). Thus, a novel set of high-resolution image descriptors that are capable of discriminating plant mixtures corresponding to Fallow land, Forest steppe and shrubs, Young steppe I and II, was proposed. Despite high resolution imaging, the method solves a challenging problem of UAV vegetation mapping in the case of limited spectral and spatial information in the image (by using only RGB camera and multitemporal approach). Although the lack of visual information that would allow identification of individual plant parts and shapes prevented the use of usual object-based image analysis, proposed pixel-based descriptors and feature selection were able to provide the extent of the targeted areas and their compositional carriers. Presented holistic approach enables implementation of effective management strategies that support the entire ecological community.Weed management is a major constraint in organic cropping systems. In 2004, the Cornell Organic Vegetable Cropping Systems Experiment was established in central New York state using a split-plot randomized complete block design with two crop rotation entry points (split-plot factor). Four organic vegetable cropping systems that varied in cropping intensity and tillage (main plot factor) were compared: (1) intensive, (2) intermediate, (3) bio-extensive, and (4) ridge tillage. The basic crop rotation was cabbage, lettuce, potato, and winter squash, with additional short-season crops in the intensive system and with cover crops and fallow substituted for cabbage and potato in the bio-extensive system. In 2014, two uniformity trials were conducted in which oat and then a mixture of sorghum-sudangrass plus Japanese millet were grown uniformly over the entire experiment. Prior to sowing oat, soil samples were collected from each plot and an emergence bioassay was conducted to assess the soil weed seedbank. Crop biomass, weed density, and weed biomass were sampled in the uniformity crops. Soil weed seedbank density was three to four times greater in the intensive, intermediate, and ridge-tillage systems than in the bio-extensive system. The bio-extensive system also had lower weed density and weed biomass in the oat uniformity trial compared with the other three systems. Oat biomass did not differ between the cropping systems. Weed density and biomass in oat were also affected by the crop rotation entry point. Cropping system legacy effects on weed abundance and community composition were greater in the oat than in the sorghum-sudangrass plus Japanese millet uniformity trial. Our results illustrate the effects of different organic vegetable production practices on weed community structure and highlight the value of tilled fallow periods, cover crops, and prevention of weed seed rain for reducing weed populations.

The results show heterogeneous spatial distribution of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) concentrations in global inland waters with the lowest concentrations in the tropics and highest concentrations in the Arctic and semiarid and arid regions. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations are less than 10 mg C/L in most global inland waters and are generally high in high-latitude basins. Increasing global C inputs, burial, and CO2 emissions reported in the literature are confirmed by DISC-CARBON. Global river C export to oceans has been stable around 0.9 Pg yr-1.

We determine the optical properties, molecular composition, and stable isotopic (\u03b413C) and radiocarbon (14C) contents of DOM. Early stages of thaw are characterized by high DOC concentrations, high aromaticity, contribution of vegetation-derived DOM, and a high contribution of permafrost carbon. In contrast, in later stages, the microbial contribution to DOM increases, and only modern carbon is detected. This work links DOM composition with its radiocarbon content in permafrost peatlands. It shows that DOM originating from previously frozen permafrost peatlands is highly aromatic and previously processed.

GR phases have high As uptake capacities at circum-neutral pH conditions, but the exact interaction mechanism between the GR phases and As species is still poorly understood. Here, we documented the bonding and interaction mechanisms between GR sulfate and As species [As(III) and As(V)] under anoxic and circum-neutral pH conditions through scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy and combined it with synchrotron-based X-ray total scattering, pair distribution function (PDF) analysis, and As K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). Our highly spatially resolved STEM-EDX data revealed that the preferred adsorption sites of both As(III) and As(V) are at GR crystal edges. Combining this data with differential PDF and XAS allowed us to conclude that As adsorption occurs primarily as bidentate binuclear (2C) inner-sphere surface complexes. In the As(III)-reacted GR sulfate, no secondary Fe-As phases were observed. However, authigenic parasymplesite (ferrous arsenate nanophase), exhibiting a threadlike morphology, formed in the As(V)-reacted GR sulfate and acts as an additional immobilization pathway for As(V) (\u223c87% of immobilized As).

As a result, microbial activities, including soil respiration and three enzyme activities (\u03b2-glucosidase, N-acetyl-\u03b2-glucosaminidase, and phosphatase), were shown to depend on soil storage conditions. Soil respiration rates increased with the addition of TWPs, and the differences from the control group (no TWPs added) were more pronounced in the AD TWP treatment than in soils stored under other conditions. In contrast, phosphatase activity followed an opposing trend after the addition of TWPs.

Single-phase rock-salt-structured CaO-MnO materials with Ca:Mn ratios larger than unity were produced in reducing atmosphere and subsequently densified by spark plasma sintering in vacuum. Annealing in air at 1340 \u00b0C between 1 and 24 h activated redox-driven exsolution and resulted in a variation in microstructure and CaMnO3-\u03b4 materials with 10 and 15 vol % CaMn2O4, respectively. The nature of the CaMnO3-\u03b4/CaMn2O4 grain boundary was analyzed by transmission electron microscopy on short- and long-term annealed samples, and a sharp interface with no secondary phase formation was indicated in both cases. This was further complemented by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, which confirmed that the CaMnO3-\u03b4 indeed is a line compound. DFT calculations predict segregation of oxygen vacancies from the bulk of CaMnO3-\u03b4 to the interface between CaMnO3-\u03b4 and CaMn2O4, resulting in an enhanced electronic conductivity of the CaMnO3-\u03b4 phase.

For optimizing the sensitivity of solution-processed bilayer OPTs, the approach of using a donor-acceptor bulk heterojunction (BHJ) as the light-sensing layer is well established in the literature, but the choice of the electron-accepting materials is often limited to fullerene-soluble derivatives or to standard nonfullerene acceptors. Herein, we report the unprecedented use of an organic persistent radical as an electron acceptor in the BHJ light-sensing layer of solution-processed bilayer OPTs. The radical acceptor is coupled at different donor:acceptor ratios to a low-band-gap polymer that absorbs in the near-infrared (NIR) region. At a donor:acceptor ratio of 1:3, the organic radical forms isolated domains within the BHJ. Such a morphology, coupled with the strong electron-accepting characteristics of the radical, leads to efficient trapping of electrons and efficient hole transport within the BHJ, as measured in charge-selective devices operated in the space-charge limited current (SCLC) range. This, together with the chemical and photostability of the persistent radical, allows us to obtain an OPT with photosensitivity (P) of 1 \u00d7 105 in response to NIR irradiation at 2 mW/cm2 and excellent photostability over time.", "keywords": ["electron trapping; electron-only device; photogain; photosensitivity; radical acceptor; solution-processed organic phototransistor;"]}, "links": [{"href": "https://boa.unimib.it/bitstream/10281/553298/1/Baroni-et-al-2025-ACS%20Applied%20Electronic%20Materials-VoR.pdf"}, {"href": "https://doi.org/10.1021/acsaelm.4c02334"}, {"rel": "related", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/ACS%20Applied%20Electronic%20Materials", "name": "related record", "description": "related record", "type": "application/json"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.1021/acsaelm.4c02334", "name": "item", "description": "10.1021/acsaelm.4c02334", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.1021/acsaelm.4c02334"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2025-04-23T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.1021/acsanm.3c01382", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-04-03T16:18:16Z", "type": "Journal Article", "created": "2023-06-05", "title": "Directed Assembly of Au Nanostar@Ag Satellite Nanostructures for SERS-Based Sensing of Hg2+ Ions", "description": "Embedding Raman reporters within nanosized gaps of metallic nanoparticles is an attractive route for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) applications, although often this involves complex synthesis procedures that limit their practical use. Herein, we present the tip-selective direct growth of silver satellites surrounding gold nanostars (AuNSt@AgSAT), mediated by a dithiol Raman reporter 1,4-benzenedithiol (BDT). We propose that BDT is embedded within nanogaps which form between the AuNSt tips and the satellites, and plays a key role in mediating the satellite growth. Not only proposing a rationale for the mechanistic growth of the AuNSt@AgSAT, we also demonstrate an example for its use for the detection of Hg2+ ions in water. The presence of Hg2+ resulted in amalgamation of the AuNSt@AgSAT, which altered both its structural morphology and Raman enhancement properties. This provides a basis for the detection where the Raman intensity of BDT is inversely proportional to the Hg2+ concentrations. As a result, Hg2+ could be detected at concentrations as low as 0.1 ppb.

Dynamic changes in subsurface geochemical conditions can impact As sequestration and remobilization since the fate of As is highly dependent on the dominant iron mineral phases present and, specifically, the pathways through which these form or transform. To assess the fate of arsenate [As(V)] in subsurface settings, we have investigated the Fe2+-induced transformation of As(V)-bearing ferrihydrite (As(V)-FH) to more crystalline phases under environmentally relevant anoxic subsurface conditions. Specifically, we examined the influence of varying Fe-(aq)(2+)/Fe(III)(solid) ratios (0.5, 1, 2) on the behavior and speciation of mineral-bound As species during the transformation of As(V)-FH to crystalline iron-bearing phases at circumneutral pH conditions. At all Fe-(aq)(2+)/Fe(III)(solid) ratios, goethite (GT), green rust sulfate (GR(SO4)), and lepidocrocite (LP) formed within the first 2 h of reaction. At low ratios (0.5 to 1), initially formed GR(SO4) and/or LP dissolved as the reaction progressed, and only GT and some unreacted FH remained after 24 h. At Fe-(aq)(2+)/Fe(III)(solid) ratio of 2, GR(SO4) remained stable throughout the 24 h of reaction, alongside GT and unreacted As(V)-FH. Despite the fact that majority of the starting As(V)-FH transformed to other phases, the initially adsorbed As was not released into solution during the transformation reactions, and similar to 99.9% of it remained mineral-bound. Nevertheless, the initial As(V) became partially reduced to As(III), most likely because of the surface-associated Fe2+-GT redox couple. The extent of As(V) reduction increased from similar to 34% to similar to 40%, as the Fe-(aq)(2+)/Fe(III)(solid) ratio increased from 0.5 to 2. Overall, our results provide important insights into transformation pathways of iron (oxyhydr)oxide minerals in As contaminated, anoxic soils and sediments and demonstrate the impact that such transformations can have on As mobility and also importantly oxidation state and, hence, toxicity in these environments.", "keywords": ["green rust", "XAS", "13.

The combined treatment produced a synergistic (i.e., significant interaction) rise in DOC concentrations available for export (119% higher than the control, interaction P < 0.05) and enriched this pool with phenolic compounds (284%).

Sewage sludge (SS) is an attractive, though potentially problematic, feedstock of biochar. It is attractive because of its large abundance; however, it contains elevated concentrations of metal(loid)s and other contaminants. The pyrolysis of SS to biochar (SSBC) may be a way to reduce the availability of these contaminants to the soil and plants. Using rice plant pot experiments, we investigated the influence of SSBC upon biomass yield, bioaccumulation of nutrients, and metal(loid)s, and green housegas (GHG) emissions. SSBC amendments increased soil pH, total nitrogen, soil organic carbon and available nutrients and decreased bioavailable As, Cr, Co, Ni, and Pb (but not Cd, Cu, and Zn). Regarding rice plant properties, SSBC amendments significantly (P \u2264 0.01) increased shoot biomass (71.3-92.2%), grain yield (148.8-175.1%), and the bioaccumulation of phosphorus and sodium, though decreased the bioaccumulation of nitrogen (except in grain) and potassium. Amendments of SSBC significantly (P \u2264 0.05) reduced the bioaccumulation of As, Cr, Co, Cu, Ni, and Pb, but increased that of Cd and Zn, though not above limits set by Chinese regulations. Finally regarding GHG emissions, SSBC significantly (P < 0.01) reduced N2O emissions and stimulated the uptake/oxidation of CH4 enough to make both the cultivated and uncultivated paddy soil a CH4 sink. SSBC can be beneficial in rice paddy soil but the actual associated benefits will depend on site-specific conditions and source of SS; long-term effects remain a further unknown.", "keywords": ["2.

We integrate life cycle assessment (LCA) and forest carbon analysis to assess total GHG emissions of forest bioenergy over time. Application of the method to case studies of wood pellet and ethanol production from forest biomass reveals a substantial reduction in forest carbon due to bioenergy production. For all cases, harvest-related forest carbon reductions and associated GHG emissions initially exceed avoided fossil fuel-related emissions, temporarily increasing overall emissions. In the long term, electricity generation from pellets reduces overall emissions relative to coal, although forest carbon losses delay net GHG mitigation by 16-38 years, depending on biomass source (harvest residues/standing trees). Ethanol produced from standing trees increases overall emissions throughout 100 years of continuous production: ethanol from residues achieves reductions after a 74 year delay. Forest carbon more significantly affects bioenergy emissions when biomass is sourced from standing trees compared to residues and when less GHG-intensive fuels are displaced. In all cases, forest carbon dynamics are significant.

Their omission can lead to serious underestimates, particularly for meat. Here we estimate emissions from the conversion of forest to pasture in the Legal Amazon Region (LAR) of Brazil and present a model to distribute the emissions from deforestation over products and time subsequent to the land use change. Expansion of cattle ranching for beef production is a major cause of deforestation in the LAR. The carbon footprint of beef produced on newly deforested land is estimated at more than 700 kg CO(2)-equivalents per kg carcass weight if direct land use emissions are annualized over 20 years. This is orders of magnitude larger than the figure for beef production on established pasture on non-deforested land. While Brazilian beef exports have originated mainly from areas outside the LAR, i.e. from regions not subject to recent deforestation, we argue that increased production for export has been the key driver of the pasture expansion and deforestation in the LAR during the past decade and this should be reflected in the carbon footprint attributed to beef exports.

Sources of variability have been categorized as pathway specific, coproduct usage and allocation, and land use change. The results of this research demonstrate that subjective choices such as coproduct usage and allocation methodology can be more important sources of variability in the LC-GHG inventory of a fuel option than the process and energy use of fuel production. Through the application of a consistent analysis methodology across all fuel options, the influence of these subjective biases is minimized, and the LC-GHG inventories for each feedstock-to-fuel option can be effectively compared and discussed. By considering the types and magnitudes of variability across multiple fuel pathways, it is evident that LCA results should be presented as a range instead of a point value.

Life cycle assessments (LCA) of biodiesel to evaluate its environmental impacts have, however, remained questionable, mainly because of the adoption of a traditional process analysis approach resulting in system boundary truncation and because of issues regarding the impacts of land use change and N(2)O emissions from fertilizer application. In this study, a hybrid LCA methodology is used to evaluate the life cycle CO(2) equivalent emissions of rape methyl ester (RME) biodiesel. The methodology uses input-output analysis to estimate upstream indirect emissions in order to complement traditional process LCA in a hybrid framework. It was estimated that traditional LCA accounted for 2.7 kg CO(2)-eq per kg of RME or 36.6% of total life cycle emissions of the RME supply chin. Further to the inclusion of upstream indirect impacts in the LCA system (which accounted for 23% of the total life cycle emissions), emissions due to direct land use change (6%) and indirect land use change (16.5%) and N(2)O emissions from fertilizer applications (17.9%) were also calculated. Structural path analysis is used to decompose upstream indirect emissions paths of the biodiesel supply chain in order to identify, quantify, and rank high carbon emissions paths or 'hot-spots' in the biodiesel supply chain. It was shown, for instance, that inputs from the 'Other Chemical Products' sector (identified as phosphoric acid, H(3)PO(4)) into the biodiesel production process represented the highest carbon emission path (or hot-spot) with 5.35% of total upstream indirect emissions of the RME biodiesel supply chain.", "keywords": ["Air Pollutants", "Conservation of Natural Resources", "Nitrogen Dioxide", "02 engineering and technology", "Carbon Dioxide", "15.

Maintaining GHGs at a 'safe' level will require fundamental change in the way we approach energy production, and a number of environmental, economic, and societal factors will come into play. Water is an essential component of energy production, and water resource constraints will limit our options for meeting society's growing demand for energy while also reducing GHG emissions. This study evaluates these potential constraints from a global perspective by revisiting the climate wedges proposal of Pacala and Socolow (Science2004, 305 (5686), 968-972) and evaluating the potential water-use impacts of the wedges associated with energy production. GHG mitigation options that improve energy conversion or use efficiency can simultaneously reduce GHG emissions, lower energy costs, and reduce energy impacts on water resources.

A model of the supply and demand chain of biojet involving farmers, biorefineries, airlines, and policymakers is developed by considering factors that drive the decisions of actors (i.e., decision-makers and stakeholders) in the life cycle stages. Two kinds of feedstock are considered: oil-producing feedstock (i.e., camelina and algae) and lignocellulosic biomass (i.e., corn stover, switchgrass, and short rotation woody crops). By factoring in farmer/feedstock producer and biorefinery profitability requirements and risk attitudes, land availability and suitability, as well as a time delay and technological learning factor, a more realistic estimate of the level of biojet supply and emissions reduction can be developed under different oil price assumptions. Factors that drive biojet GHG emissions and unit production costs from each feedstock are identified and quantified. Overall, this study finds that at likely adoption rates biojet alone would not be sufficient to achieve the aviation emissions reduction target. In 2050, under high oil price scenario assumption, GHG emissions can be reduced to a level ranging from 55 to 92%, with a median value of 74%, compared to the 2005 baseline level.", "keywords": ["Greenhouse Effect", "Energy-Generating Resources", "13.

Here we examined non-GHG air pollution impacts from both indirect and direct land-use change caused by the anticipated expansion of Brazilian biofuels production. We synthesized information on fuel loading, combustion completeness, and emission factors, and developed a spatially explicit approach with uncertainty and sensitivity analyses to estimate air pollution emissions. The land-use change emissions, ranging from 6.7 to 26.4 Tg PM(2.5), were dominated by deforestation burning practices associated with indirect land-use change. We also found Brazilian sugar cane ethanol and soybean biodiesel including direct and indirect land-use change effects have much larger life-cycle emissions than conventional fossil fuels for six regulated air pollutants. The emissions magnitude and uncertainty decrease with longer life-cycle integration periods. Results are conditional to the single LUC scenario employed here.

This research integrates the Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) watershed model and the DayCent biogeochemical model to investigate water quality and soil greenhouse gas flux that results when corn stover is collected at two different rates from corn-soybean and continuous corn crop rotations with and without tillage. Multiobjective watershed-scale optimizations are performed for individual pollutant-cost minimization criteria based on the economic cost of each cropping practice and (individually) the effect on nitrate, total phosphorus, sediment, or global warming potential. We compare these results with a purely economic optimization that maximizes stover production at the lowest cost without taking environmental impacts into account. We illustrate trade-offs between cost and different environmental performance criteria, assuming that nutrients contained in any stover collected must be replaced. The key finding is that stover collection using the practices modeled results in increased contributions to atmospheric greenhouse gases while reducing nitrate and total phosphorus loading to the watershed relative to the status quo without stover collection. Stover collection increases sediment loading to waterways relative to when no stover is removed for each crop rotation-tillage practice combination considered; no-till in combination with stover collection reduced sediment loading below baseline conditions without stover collection. Our results suggest that additional information is needed about (i) the level of nutrient replacement required to maintain grain yields and (ii) cost-effective management practices capable of reducing soil erosion when crop residues are removed in order to avoid contributions to climate change and water quality impairments as a result of using corn stover to satisfy the RFS.", "keywords": ["Greenhouse Effect", "2.

For each, four conversion pathways were assessed against a fossil fuel reference: (I) anaerobic co-digestion with manure, (II) gasification, (III) combustion in small-to-medium scale biomass combined heat and power (CHP) plants and IV) co-firing in large scale coal-fired CHP plants. Soil carbon changes, direct and indirect land use changes as well as uncertainty analysis (sensitivity, MonteCarlo) were included in the LCA.

Using photovoltaics (PV) to directly convert solar radiation into electricity for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) is an alternative to photosynthesis, which suffers from a very low energy conversion efficiency. Assessments need to be spatially explicit, since solar insolation and crop yields vary widely between locations. This paper therefore compares direct land use, life cycle GHG emissions and fossil fuel requirements of five different sun-to-wheels conversion pathways for every county in the contiguous U.S.: Ethanol from corn or switchgrass for internal combustion vehicles (ICVs), electricity from corn or switchgrass for BEVs, and PV electricity for BEVs. Even the most land-use efficient biomass-based pathway (i.e., switchgrass bioelectricity in U.S. counties with hypothetical crop yields of over 24 tonnes/ha) requires 29 times more land than the PV-based alternative in the same locations. PV BEV systems also have the lowest life cycle GHG emissions throughout the U.S. and the lowest fossil fuel inputs, except for locations with hypothetical switchgrass yields of 16 or more tonnes/ha. Including indirect land use effects further strengthens the case for PV.", "keywords": ["Greenhouse Effect", "2. Zero hunger", "Ethanol", "15.

Although greenhouse gas emissions have played a role in shaping the RFS, water implications are less understood. We demonstrate a spatial, life cycle approach to estimate water consumption of transportation fuel scenarios, including a comparison to current water withdrawals and drought incidence by state. The water consumption and land footprint of six scenarios are compared to the RFS, including shale oil, coal-to-liquids, shale gas-to-liquids, corn ethanol, and cellulosic ethanol from switchgrass. The corn scenario is the most water and land intense option and is weighted toward drought-prone states. Fossil options and cellulosic ethanol require significantly less water and are weighted toward less drought-prone states. Coal-to-liquids is an exception, where water consumption is partially weighted toward drought-prone states. Results suggest that there may be considerable water and land impacts associated with meeting energy security goals through using only biofuels. Ultimately, water and land requirements may constrain energy security goals without careful planning, indicating that there is a need to better balance trade-offs.
