Should bioenergy be developed?

Creators

Description

'Bioenergy for climate change mitigation: scale and sustainability' is an article published on 24 May 2021 in the journal 'GCB Bioenergy: Bio-products for a Sustainable Bioeconomy', written by Katherine Calvin et al. Based on the existing literature, this article questions the sustainability of bioenergy. The term 'bioenergy' refers to all energy produced from biomass. This article discusses in particular the use of 'agro-energy' derived from agricultural production through the conversion of crops, by-products and agricultural waste into solid fuel (straw), liquid fuel (biofuels) or gaseous fuel (biogas), in addition to the use of wood for energy creation. It focuses on the conditions necessary for the sustainable deployment of such energy and underlines the difficulty of assessing its viability in a realistic way.

Abstract (French)

'Bioenergy for climate change mitigation: scale and sustainability' est un article paru le 24 mai 2021 dans la revue GCB Bioenergy: Bioproducts for a Sustainable Bioeconomy et ecrit par Katherine Calvin, et al. En s'appuyant sur la litterature existante, cet article s'interroge sur la soutenabilite des bioenergies. Les bioenergies sont l'ensemble des energies produites a partir de biomasse. Cet article s'interesse particulierement aux agroenergies, issues de la production agricole au travers de la conversion des cultures, des sous-produits et des dechets agricoles en combustibles solides (pailles), liquides (biocarburants) ou gazeux (biogaz) ainsi qu'au bois-energie. Il met en exergue les conditions necessaires a leur deploiement durable et souligne les difficultes d'une evaluation realiste de leur viabilite
