Assessment of Australia biomass for producing bioelectricity and biofuel and reducing greenhouse gas emissions

The data tables (inputs and results) supported "a quantitative assessment of the prospects for current and future biomass feedstocks for bioenergy in Australia, and associated estimates of the greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation resulting from their use for produc- tion of biofuels or bioelectricity." (from the Abstract of GCB Bioenergy, 4(2):148-175. [doi: 10.1111/j.1757-1707.2011.01115.x]). \nTable titles:\nTable 1 Biomass-bioenergy pathways considered in this paper\nTable 2 Biomass production from current production systems\nTable 3 Assumed densities of sawlogs and pulplogs, and for- est and sawmill residue fractions from hardwood and soft- wood plantations and native forests managed for wood production\nTable 4 Estimated theoretical Area and Annual production of future dedicated energy biomass production systems when they have been fully established\nTable 5 Variables used in the calculation of oil production from algae\nTable 6 Species, planting layout, initial stocking and rotation length used to model biomass production from new SRC euca- lypt plantings across four Australian geoclimatic zones (after Polglase et al., 2008)\nTable 7 Area of land planted, and annual wood production from SRC eucalypts assuming crops established on 5% of each category of land use and productivity class\nTable 8 Variables used in the estimation of oil yield from Pongamia pinnata plantations established for bioenergy in Australia\nTable 9 Area of land (ha) for combinations of land-use categories and potential productivity (growth index) zones for Pongamia pin- nata in northern Australia (see Fig. 2d)\nTable 10 Assumed Diversion for each biomass category, and the rationale\nTable 11 Conversion process, rate of conversion, and associated GHG emissions used to calculate biofuel and bioenergy production\nfor each feedstock category (new feedstocks are italicised)\nTable 12 Estimated GHG emissions due to production and transport, for a range of bioenergy feedstocks\nTable 13 Energy equivalence ratio applied when using biofuels to replace fossil fuels\nTable 14 Production of biofuel and bioelectricity, and estimates of GHG mitigation\n\nLineage: These data tables and the quote above (from the article) were originally published in:\n\nD.
