The Impact of Land Use Change on Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Biofuels and Bioliquids

The modelling of the land use change impact of biofuels is new. The first study (by Banse et al.) appeared only in 2007. A great deal of scientific progress has been made since then. However, it became apparent in the course of this literature review that consensus is far from being reached among scientists on many key aspects of methodology and data; there are still aspects that no studies have addressed; and these issues have a significant impact on the studies’ results. This Review identifies and discusses the main issues.
