Produktbeschreibung

The Role of Bioenergy in the Bioeconomy: Resources, Technologies, Sustainability and Policy provides the reader with a complete understanding on how bioenergy technologies fit into the new bioeconomy paradigm. Sections focus on the main resources and technologies for bioenergy and its integration in energy systems and biorefining chains, analyze the available methodologies for assessing the sustainability of bioenergy, and address and the propose approaches that are demonstrated through concrete case studies. Additionally, the implications of bioenergy in the water-energy and land nexus is presented, along with new challenges and opportunities.

This book's strong focus on sustainability of bioenergy, both as a standalone, and in the larger context of a bio-based economy, makes it a useful resource for researchers, professionals and students in the bioenergy field who need tactics to assess the lifecycle and sustainability of bioenergy technologies and their integration into existing systems.

• Presents a complete overview of the main challenges that bioenergy will have to overcome in order to play a key role in future energy systems
• Explores sustainability aspects in detail, both qualitatively and by applying proposed methodologies to concrete bioenergy case studies
• Covers, in detail, the water-energy-land nexus implications and governance aspects

Autorenporträt

Carmen Lago has a degree in Biological Sciences from the Universidad Autónoma (Madrid). She works in CIEMAT since 1990, starting at the Renewable Energy Department. Her research activity has been developed in the areas of wind energy development, radiological protection, environmental impact and economic analysis of energy systems. Her professional experience is focused on environmental, technological and economic assessment of renewable energies versus fossil fuels. During the last years she has been working on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of biofuels and biomass from energy crops, development of GHG emissions calculation tools to evaluate the compliance of sustainability criteria of biofuels and, more recently, in sustainability analysis of the new concept of bio-refinery from advanced bioenergy. She has participated in several research projects at national and international level and is co-author of several papers and book-chapters. She has taught in various courses, masters and

seminars related to energy, environment and sustainability.
