Forest carbon accounting methods and the consequences of forest bioenergy for national greenhouse gas emissions inventories (2014)
Journal Article
McKechnie, J., Colombo, S., & MacLean, H. L. (2014). Forest carbon accounting methods and the consequences of forest bioenergy for national greenhouse gas emissions inventories. Environmental Science and Policy, 44, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsci.2014.07.006

While bioenergy plays a key role in strategies for increasing renewable energy deployment, studies assessing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from forest bioenergy systems have identified a potential trade-off of the system with forest carbon stocks. O... Read More about Forest carbon accounting methods and the consequences of forest bioenergy for national greenhouse gas emissions inventories.

Impacts of pre-treatment technologies and co-products on greenhouse gas emissions and energy use of lignocellulosic ethanol production (2014)
Journal Article
Pourbafrani, M., McKechnie, J., Shen, T., Saville, B. A., & MacLean, H. L. (2014). Impacts of pre-treatment technologies and co-products on greenhouse gas emissions and energy use of lignocellulosic ethanol production. Journal of Cleaner Production, 78, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2014.04.050

Life cycle environmental performance of lignocellulosic ethanol produced through different production pathways and having different co-products has rarely been reported in the literature, with most studies focusing on a single pre-treatment and singl...
