The $$\underline{C}$$arbon $$\underline{C}$$alculator for $$\underline{L}$$and $$\underline{U}$$se Change from $$\underline{B}$$iofuels Production (CCLUB) calculates carbon emissions from land use change (LUC) for four different ethanol production pathways including corn grain ethanol and cellulosic ethanol from corn stover, Miscanthus, and switchgrass. This document discusses the version of CCLUB released September 30, 2014 which includes corn and three cellulosic feedstocks: corn stover, Miscanthus, and switchgrass.
