One of the main drivers for the use of bioenergy and bioproducts is their potential environmental benefits (e.g. carbon dioxide emission reduction, biodegradability). It is thus essential that we assess the environmental impact of all the energy and chemical products we manufacture (across their life cycle) to make sure that they...
