A new perspective into the impact of renewable and nonrenewable energy consumption on environmental degradation in Argentina: a time-frequency analysis

Tomiwa Sunday Adebayo et al.

Summary: This research provides a new perspective on the influence of renewable and nonrenewable energy consumption on CO2 emissions in Argentina using wavelet analysis. The findings reveal significant wavelet coherence in the frequency domain and contradictory correlations among variables in different time periods. The study suggests that in the medium and long term, renewable energy consumption supports environmental sustainability, while nonrenewable energy and economic growth contribute to environmental degradation in the short and long term.

Environmental outcomes of the US Renewable Fuel Standard

Tyler J. Lark et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the realized effects of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) in the United States through econometric analyses, land use observations, and biophysical models. The findings show that the RFS policy increased corn and crop prices, expanded corn cultivation and cropland, raised fertilizer use and water quality degradants, and resulted in higher carbon intensity of corn ethanol compared to gasoline. These tradeoffs need to be considered when making decisions about renewable energy policies and the role of corn ethanol in climate mitigation goals.

Evaluation of five C4 forage grasses in the tall Fescue Belt

Pat Keyser et al.

Summary: This study compared the performance of five C-4 forage options in a grazing trial, showing variations in average daily gains, grazing days, total gains, and forage nutritive values among the different forages. Therefore, incorporating these forage options in tall fescue pastures can provide more choices for producers.

Genomic mechanisms of climate adaptation in polyploid bioenergy switchgrass

John T. Lovell et al.

Summary: Climate change and environmental extremes threaten food and fuel security, as well as global crop productivity. Molecular and adaptive breeding strategies can help improve crop resilience, but require in-depth knowledge of productivity and adaptation genes. The study on the genome of switchgrass revealed extensive genomic evidence of climate adaptation and accelerated climate adaptation through gene flow during postglacial colonization. These findings not only provide insights into climate adaptation patterns, but also offer tools for breeders to increase switchgrass yield for sustainable bioenergy production.

A Critical Review on Lignocellulosic Biomass Yield Modeling and the Bioenergy Potential from Marginal Land

Jan Haberzettl et al.

Summary: Modeling biomass yield for lignocellulosic crops on marginal land faces challenges in data collection, model applicability, and consideration of future changes. Future modeling efforts should focus on intensified political support, broad research on various issues, and integration of sustainability criteria to improve consistency.
