“…Energy is the basic requirement of the development in almost every aspect of a society in the world, and it is also needed by the existence of ecosystems, life itself, and human civilizations Ozturk et al 2017). However, the utilization of conventional energy sources can yield a series of problems.…”

“…Third, the emitted nitrogen oxides due to fossil fuel combustion compromise air quality and do harms in human health (Hoekman et al 2018). Unfortunately, the world energy consumption depends heavily (80%) upon fossil fuels and will also increase by more than 50% in the next 20 years (Ozturk et al 2017;USEIA 2011). Therefore, bioenergy, the powerful renewable substitution of fossil fuel, has been developing during the past decades especially in North American and Europe, aiming to meet the growth of the world population, safeguard the energy security and mitigate the global warming (Hoekman et al 2018).…”

Compared with the conventional fossil fuel, bioenergy has obvious advantages due to its renewability and large quantity, and thus plays a crucial role in helping defend the energy security. However, the bioenergy development may potentially cause serious environmental alterations, which remain unclear. The study summarizes the environmental impacts of bioenergy production based on the compilation and published data. Our analysis shows that more and more attention is being paid to the environmental protection as the development of bioenergy, and among the influencing terms of bioenergy production, water issues (i.e., water quantity and quality) gain the greatest concern, whereas the least attention has been given to soil erosion. Although we recognize that the bioenergy production can indeed exert negative effects on the environment in terms of water quantity and quality, greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity and soil organic carbon, and soil erosion, the adverse impacts varied greatly depending on biomass types, land locations, and management practices. Identifying the reasonable cultivation locations, appropriate bioenergy crop types, and optimal management practices can be beneficial to environment and sustainable development of bioenergy. In this field, Chinese bioenergy production has lagged behind and does not match its rising energy consumption, but it has a great potential of and demand for biomass-based energy especially under its urbanization, in spite of the negative environmental impacts. Therefore, this article is expected to serve as a reference and guideline on what has been done in the bioenergy-oriented countries that might stimulate development of more effective and environmentally sound guidelines for promoting bioenergy production in China and other developing countries as well.

“…Four such studies are developed with different focuses, namely, bioenergy systems [38], bioenergy resource potential [39], bioenergy technology [40], economic potential of supply [41]. However, other Asia regions such as Malaysia, India, Iran, and Turkey are less mentioned, as only one or two of the reviewed studies targeted those areas respectively (e.g., [42][43][44][45]). The main causes of this phenomenon might be that, as the largest emerging economy in the world, China attracts more attentions from scholars all around the world, and it has made more bioenergy attempts than any other Asian countries, with the purposes both of fossil fuels usage reduction and its responsibility to respond to climate change.…”

Sustainability Assessment of Bioenergy from a Global Perspective: A Review

et al. 2018

Bioenergy, as a renewable energy resource, is expected to see significant development in the future. However, a key issue that will affect this trend is sustainability of bioenergy. There have been many studies on this topic but mainly focusing on only one or two-dimensions of the issue and also with much of the literature directed at studies of European regions. To help understand the wider scope of bioenergy sustainability, this paper reviews a broad range of current research on the topic and places the literature into a multi-dimensional framework covering the economic, environmental and ecological, social and land-related aspects of bioenergy sustainability, as well as a geographical analysis of the areas for which the studies have been carried out. The review indicates that it is hard to draw an overall conclusion on the sustainability of bioenergy because of limited studies or contradictory results in some respects. In addition, this review shows that crop-based bioenergy and forest bioenergy are seen as the main sources of bioenergy and that most studies discuss the final utilization of bioenergy as being for electricity generation. Finally, research directions for future study are suggested, based on the literature reviewed here.

“…Biomasses are found abundantly in nature and can be conveniently generated in most non-urban configurations (Ozturk et al, 2017). Generally they are classified into two types: natural materials and derivatives (Toklu et al, 2010).…”

“…Biomass resources are subdivided into some categories: agricultural production wastes, energy crops, agriculture processing, urban organic, urban pruningwoods and woods mill (Nansaior et al, 2013;Main-Knorn et al, 2013). Conversion of biomass into energy is an alternative that will mitigate negative socioenvironmental impacts, such as rural unemployment and global warming (Mckendry, 2002;Okudoh et al, 2014;Ozturk et al, 2017;Long et al, 2013). Bioenergy from biomass is a clean technology, safe and renewable resource, and is considered as a potential alternative to partially replace fossil fuels, which will decrease in the future (Ali et al, 2017).…”

Bioenergy production from biomass and agricultural wastes has gained significant interest due to rising fossil fuel prices and their decrease in air pollutant emissions. This review paper evaluates the state-of-art for the several applications from cassava harvest residues and their use in bioenergy industry, using different thermochemical and biochemical processes. Regarding the great available literature for this biomass, several pretreatment techniques, including mechanical, chemical, biological, thermal, ultrasonic and wet explosion were observed. The use of cassava harvest residues for the biochemical pretreatments, for example, hydrolysis, fermentation and thermochemical processes, such as direct combustion, gasification, pyrolysis, fast pyrolysis and oxy-fuel combustion was also discussed. Therefore, studies are necessary in order to understand that the use of cassava residues in thermal processes can increase the viability of this feedstock for biofuels production and/or in power co-firing units. After extensive study, it was observed that informations are still lacking about the use of cassava harvest residues in other conversion processes, thus, new studies to discover more on the use of this biomass, in order to extend their application in the bioenergy market is encouraged.
