Market-mediated environmental impacts of biofuels
31 Jul 2014 | Publications | Contributor(s): Tom Hertel, Wallace E. Tyner
This paper surveys the evidence on market-mediated environmental impacts of biofuels, with special attention to the indirect greenhouse gas emissions stemming from land cover change in the wake of increased demand for biofuel feedstocks. We find clear evidence that market mediated land use...
