Bioenergy and global land-use change

Abstract: This is the first article that econometrically estimates the global land-use change impact of bioenergy. Applying time-series analytical mechanisms to fuel, biofuel and agricultural commodity prices and production, we estimate the long-run relationship between energy prices, bioenergy production and the global land-use change. Our results suggest that rising energy prices and bioenergy production significantly contribute to the global land-use change both through the direct and indirect land-use change impact.… Show more

“…We hypothesise that the transition from accelerating to decelerating land use change is related to market developments in the context of the global economic and food crisis 2007-2009. Before the crisis, rising demand for food, animal feed and biofuels as well as increasing oil prices (reaching an all-time high in 2008 at $145.31 per barrel of Crude 50 ) stimulated global agricultural production, which enhanced global land use change 51 . In particular, high oil prices made bioenergy crops more competitive and profitable compared to fossil fuels.…”

“…As sugar is not such a staple food product as is corn, the diversion of the Brazilian sugarcane production into ethanol is not perceived as such a menace for the world food situation as it is in the case of the US corn. However, the land use and possible expansion of arable land due to biofuels is an important issue in Brazil (Rajcaniova et al ., ).…”

“…Globally, existing works on bioenergy production have devoted significant effort to issues concerning the allocation of land for bioenergy production (e.g., [27,28]). Biomass for bioenergy production can be produced from different sources [8,27].…”
