Greater Transportation Energy and GHG Offsets from Bioelectricity Than Ethanol

Abstract

Future Fuels: In the scramble to develop more environmentally friendly transportation methods, a wide range of questions must be answered, including how automobiles may best be powered. Biomass might be an important source for that power, either to generate electricity for electric vehicles, or to make ethanol for combustion vehicles. Campbell et al. (p. 1055; published online 7 May; see the Policy Forum by Ohlrogge et al. ) examined each approach's demands on land-use, using a lifecycle assessment model, for a range of energy feedstocks, conversion methods, and vehicle types. In nearly all cases, bioelectricity would have a significantly higher net transportation efficiency per area of land used than bioethanol, owing to the greater efficiency of electric engines. Furthermore, bioelectricity would result in a smaller CO 2 burden. Thus, bioelectricity could represent an important bridge to more advanced transportation technologies with less environmental impact.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
