Spatially and Temporally Explicit Life Cycle Environmental Impacts of Soybean Production in the U.S. Midwest

Journal Article Xue Romeiko, Xiaobo ; Lee, Eun Kyung ; Sorunmu, Yetunde ; ... - Environmental Science & Technology

Quantifying the spatially and temporally explicit life cycle environmental impacts of crop production is critical for designing sustainable supply chains for biofuel and animal sectors. This study assessed life cycle environmental impacts of soybean production in around 1000 Midwest counties over 9 years. A combination of Environmental Policy Integrated Climate model and process-based life cycle assessment model was used to estimate the spatially and temporally explicit life cycle global warming (GW), eutrophication (EU) and acidification (AD) impacts. Sequentially, a machine learning approach was applied to identify the top influential factors among soil, climate and farming practices for spatially and temporallymore »« less

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

Data-Driven Modeling of Spatially Explicit Air Pollutant Inventories for Agricultural and Forestry Feedstock Production

Conference Hanes, Rebecca ; Hettinger, Dylan J ; Inman, Daniel J ; ...

As biomass feedstock production expands, air pollutants generated from feedstock supply chain activities may impact air quality and human health. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory's Feedstock Production Emissions to Air Model (FPEAM) generates county-scale inventories of direct air pollutant emissions produced by feedstock supply chain activities. FPEAM can also be used to generate local, temporally resolved inventories for input into air quality models. This presentation provides an overview of FPEAM functionality and discusses several recent use cases prior to FPEAM's scheduled public release in September 2019. FPEAM is a modular, data-driven model. Each module contains calculations for an activity type,more »« less

Preliminary inventory of hazardous air pollutant emissions from electric utility boilers in the United States. Report for March 1993-July 1995

Technical Report Ringler, E S ; Jones, J W

Fossil fuel (i.e., coal, oil, natural gas) combustion generates a variety of organic HAPs and a number of toxic metals (e.g., mercury, chromium, arsenic). This paper summarizes an effort undertaken to develop an inventory of HAP emissions from these boilers. Several approaches toward developing and utilizing suitable emission factors are examined, and a HAP inventory is presented that is based on the most current, comprehensive, and quality assured test data available. Analyses are presented that compared results and assess the significance of emissions estimates based on the various approaches examined.
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 (NH₃), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Changes in atmospheric concentrations of PM_2.5 (primary + secondary) from on-site production and supporting supply chain activities are considered at 2694 locations (counties in themore »« less
