1. 1. Combining GHG Emissions and Soil Carbon Changes as a Single Metric to Evaluate Agricultural Policy Promoting Biomass for Biofuels

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning; Lunds universitet/Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC)

   Author : Malin Lane; [2022]
   Keywords : Gräsvallar; klimatpåverkan; kolinlagring; jordbruk; biomassa; biobränslen.; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Incorporating a multi-year grass ley into an arable crop rotation can increase soil organic carbon stocks, reduce carbon emissions and provide feedstock for biogas. This thesis set out to study how a policy promoting agricultural biomass for biogas impacts GHG emissions and carbon sequestration on a regional level over a temporal scale of 20 years. READ MORE
