Life Cycle Assessment of Biomass for Generation of energy : Case Studies of Poplar Management in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S.A.

Creator:

Vasquez Sandoval, Marcia A.

Abstract:

A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of the production of poplar biomass grown under four management conditions in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) of the U.S.A. was conducted. While the extraction of fossil fuels and the subsequent generation of energy have environmental impacts, the alternative of extracting poplar biomass also has impacts...

Analysis of the regional carbon balance of Pacific Northwest forests under changing climate, disturbance, and management for bioenergy

Creator:

Hudiburg, Tara W.

Abstract:

Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have been steadily increasing from anthropogenic energy production, development and use. Carbon cycling in the terrestrial biosphere, particularly forest ecosystems, has an important role in regulating atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide. US West coast forest management policies are being developed to implement forest bioenergy production while...
