Similarities to current energy system Near-term Cost effective Scalable Deployable/storable Carbon-negative potential Rural economic development Appropriate technology options for the developing world Synergies with fossil fuels Synergies with other renewables Perhaps better to ask “How?”
5
1. Air Quality 2. Short-Lived Climate Forcers 3. Land-Use Efficiency
7
Ozone increase in LA and northeast offset by decrease in southeast E85 unlikely to improve air quality Emissions outside of vehicle phase neglected (Jacobson, ES&T, 2007)
8
Human health costs ~ Climate change costs Importance of upstream emissions relative to vehicle emissions (Hill et al., PNAS, 2007)
12
1. Create a market for sugarcane trash 2. Emissions from indirect land-use change (Morton et al., GCB, 2008)
14
Aerosols and Ozone Atmospheric lifetimes of days to weeks Cooling and warming properties Spatial-explicit climate impacts Black Carbon has 55% of the RF caused by CO2 and a greater forcing than all other SLCFs (Ramanathan and Carmichael, 2008)

22
Source for stratospheric sulfate aerosol. Important role in stratospheric ozone. A novel tracer of terrestrial photosynthesis?

25
a) Ethanolb) Bioelectricity (Campbell, Lobell, & Field, Science, 2009) 25
26
Advantages to expanding focus to include electricity in addition to liquid fuels Greater emphasis on jet and tanker fuels Lignin rich feedstock
27
Win-win solutions where environmental mitigation results in more bioenergy supply? E.g. Sugarcane burning vs. second-generation fuels SLCFs incorporated in mandated GHG thresholds? International leakage of air quality impacts? Abandoned lands and other alternative land resources?
