Variable demand as a means to more sustainable biofuels and biobased materials

Variable demand as a means to more sustainable biofuels and biobased materials1639 DownloadsBased on a survey, an expert workshop, and relevant literature, the effects of a variable biofuel demand approach are evaluated with respect to food security, agricultural productivity, detrimental land-use change, and feedstock competition with biobased chemicals and materials. Here we provide evidence that
