Impacts and Feasibility of the US and the EU Sustainability Criteria on Existing Land-Use Practices
… biofuel targets. However, the recently updated renewable policies of the United States and the European Union, which are the US Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and EU Directive 2009/28 of the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) both place restrictions on land that can be used to produce biofuel, and …

A technical, economic and environmental analysis of renewable gas produced from power to gas systems
Storing surplus or curtailed renewable electricity as a gaseous transport fuel is a suggested method of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing the supply of indigenous energy, providing long-term energy storage, facilitating intermittent renewable electricity sources and providing an …

DEFATTED SEED CAKES RECOVERY TO INCREASE BIOFUEL PRODUCTION SUSTAINABILITY FROM SECOND-GENERATION OIL-CROPS
The Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) requires biodiesel to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by at least 65% compared to fossil fuels. Most first-generation oil crops cannot reach this threshold due to high costs and competition with food, while newgeneration oils, which have emerged in …
