1. Finding ways to develop a sustainable bioeconomy: The case of industrial cassava in Colombia : Environmental impact and food security insights from a combined life cycle assessment and interview study
University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikAbstract : Cassava has been identified as a potential key crop for a sustainable bioeconomy in Colombia.However, the bioeconomy is not inherently sustainable, and neither is producing cassava,which makes research on it crucial. Increasing biomass circularity could be key for increasingthe cassava industry’s sustainability performance. READ MORE

4. 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)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

5. Continuous Hydrothermal Co-liquefaction of Biomass : An experimental study on the effects of fuel mixing on the composition and yield of biocrude and hydrochar
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronikAbstract : An experimental study on the effect of fuel mixing on the products resulting from hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) was conducted. The feedstocks used were kraft lignin (KL), GROT (GT) and microalgae cultivated in wastewater (MA). Three sets of mixtures were prepared, each containing two types of feedstocks with a 1:1 ratio: KLGT, MAKL, and MAGT. READ MORE
