Biofuel crop mix 'not favourable for environment'
2013-07-03 17:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The current mix of crops used for energy are "not favourable to the environment", according to a report published on Wednesday by the European Environment Agency. It said that the environmental benefits of such bioenergy vary significantly depending on the source of crops. When sourced from agricultural residues or waste, bioenergy is more efficient than fossil fuels both in terms of greenhouse gas emissions and the impact on ecosystems. But growing crops for energy has knock-on environmental impacts...

Wood not so green a biofuel? Logging may have greater impact on carbon emissions than previous
2013-06-11 21:33:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Science Daily: Using wood for energy is considered cleaner than fossil fuels, but a Dartmouth College-led study finds that logging may release large amounts of carbon stored in deep forest soils. Global atmospheric studies often don't consider carbon in deep (or mineral) soil because it is thought to be stable and unaffected by timber harvesting. But the Dartmouth findings show deep soil can play an important role in carbon emissions in clear-cutting and other intensive forest management practices. The findings...
