Biofuels & atmospheric chemistry: what can a global model tell us about our future decisions?
Biomass energy is the oldest form of energy harnessed by humans. Currently, processed biofuels, which are derived from biomass, are being pursued as a possi- ble route to decarbonize the transport sector—a particularly difficult task for both technological and sociological reasons. In this thesis I …
