Spatially Explicit Life Cycle Analysis of Cellulosic Ethanol Production Scenarios in Southwestern Michigan

Journal Article Cronin, Keith R. ; Runge, Troy M. ; Zhang, Xuesong ; ... - BioEnergy Research

By modeling the life cycle of fuel pathways for cellulosic ethanol (CE) it can help identify logistical barriers and anticipated impacts for the emerging commercial CE industry. Such models contain high amounts of variability, primarily due to the varying nature of agricultural production but also because of limitations in the availability of data at the local scale, resulting in the typical practice of using average values. In this study, 12 spatially explicit, cradle-to-refinery gate CE pathways were developed that vary by feedstock (corn stover, switchgrass, and Miscanthus), nitrogen application rate (higher, lower), pretreatment method (ammonia fiber expansion [AFEX], dilute acid),more »« less

Life cycle air quality impacts on human health from potential switchgrass production in the United States

Journal Article Thakrar, Sumil K. ; Goodkind, Andrew L. ; Tessum, Christopher W. ; ... - Biomass and Bioenergy

Switchgrass is a promising bioenergy feedstock, but industrial-scale production may lead to negative environmental effects. This study considers one such potential consequence: the life cycle monetized damages to human health from air pollution. We estimate increases in mortality from long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM _2.5), which is emitted directly (“primary PM _2.5”) and forms in the atmosphere (“secondary PM _2.5”) from precursors of nitrogen oxides (NO _x), sulfur oxides (SO _x), ammonia (NH ₃), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Changes in atmospheric concentrations of PM _2.5 (primary + secondary) from on-site production and supporting supply chain activities aremore »« less

Life cycle air quality impacts of conventional and alternative light-duty transportation in the United States

Journal Article Tessum, Christopher W. ; Hill, Jason D. ; Marshall, Julian D. - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Commonly considered strategies for reducing the environmental impact of light-duty transportation include using alternative fuels and improving vehicle fuel economy. We evaluate the air quality-related human health impacts of 10 such options, including the use of liquid biofuels, diesel, and compressed natural gas (CNG) in internal combustion engines; the use of electricity from a range of conventional and renewable sources to power electric vehicles (EVs); and the use of hybrid EV technology. Our approach combines spatially, temporally, and chemically detailed life cycle emission inventories; comprehensive, fine-scale state-of-the-science chemical transport modeling; and exposure, concentration–response, and economic health impact modeling for ozonemore »« less

Quantifying spatially and temporally explicit CO ₂ fertilization effects on global terrestrial ecosystem carbon dynamics

Journal Article Liu, Shaoqing ; Zhuang, Qianlai ; Chen, Min ; ... - Ecosphere

Current terrestrial ecosystem models are usually driven with global average annual atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO ₂) concentration data at the global scale. However, high-precision CO ₂ measurement from eddy flux towers showed that seasonal, spatial surface atmospheric CO ₂ concentration differences were as large as 35 ppmv and the site-level tests indicated that the CO ₂ variation exhibited different effects on plant photosynthesis. Here we used a process-based ecosystem model driven with two spatially and temporally explicit CO ₂ data sets to analyze the atmospheric CO ₂ fertilization effects on the global carbon dynamics of terrestrial ecosystems from 2003 tomore »« less
