Researchers contend that large-scale forest bioenergy is neither sustainable nor greenhouse-gas neutral

Green Car Congress

Land management trade-off: maximizing productivity vs. carbon stocks. The general assumption that bioenergy combustion is carbon-neutral is not valid because it ignores emissions due to decreasing standing biomass and contribution to the land-based carbon sink. NPP= net primary production. Schulze et al. Click to enlarge.

DOE Joint Genome Institute approves 41 projects for 2012 Community Sequencing Program; climate, environment and bioenergy feedstocks

Green Car Congress

The projects span the globe and the unexplored branches of the tree of life, and promise to yield a better understanding of the interplay between climate, ecosystem and organism. The Dangl team seeks to apply the genetic and genomic information toward applications in bioenergy and carbon cycling research. —Dangl team proposal.
