Comparing new Swedish concepts for production of second generation biofuels - evaluating CO2 emissions using a system approach

Well-to-wheels studies and various figures of merit are often used to assess the benefits of different biofuels regarding for example climate effect, security of supply, energy efficiency, resource efficiency and costs. However, fundamental differences in system boundaries, assumptions about surroun...
