This systematic review examines the economic impacts of bioenergy on agricultural markets, synthesising findings from existing literature across various regions and climatic conditions. Analysing effects crop prices, land use decisions, sustainability, highlights key insights. It identifies common trends, patterns, divergences. Bioenergy production interacts with markets through multiple channels, influenced by policy interventions, technological innovation, market dynamics. Implications for policy, practice, future research are discussed, emphasising importance considering factors in development policy-making. The underscore need integrated modeling approaches, data improvements, cross-sectoral collaboration to inform evidence-based decision-making promote sustainable development. Keywords: Bioenergy, Agricultural Markets, Economic Impacts, Crop Prices, Land Use Decisions, Sustainability.

Abstract More than half of the world's population is nourished by crops fertilized with synthetic nitrogen (N) fertilizers. However, N fertilization a major source anthropogenic emissions, augmenting carbon footprint (CF). To date, no global quantification CF induced main grain has been performed, and quantifications at national scale have neglected CO 2 assimilated plants. A first cradle‐to‐grave life cycle assessment was performed to quantify fertilizers' production, transportation, application field uses produced biomass in livestock feed human food, as well biofuel production. We quantified direct indirect inventories emitted or sequestered crops: wheat, maize, rice. Grain food had net 7.4 Gt eq. 2019 after excluding C plant biomass, which accounted for quarter total CF. The cradle (fertilizer production transportation), gate application, soil systems), grave (feed, biofuel, losses) stages contributed 2%, 11%, 87%, respectively. Although Asia top producer, North America 38% due greatest stage (2.5 eq.). will increase 21.2 2100, driven rise meet growing demand without actions stop decline use efficiency. targets climate change, we introduced an ambitious mitigation strategy, including improvement agronomic efficiency (6% average target three crops) manufacturing technology, reducing losses, conversion healthy diets, whereby can be reduced 5.6 2100.

Abstract Increasing bioenergy production is a significant component of European efforts to mitigate climate change, but has contested potential for reducing emissions. We use an integrated land system model explore the effects large-scale within Union on carbon balances. find that increased crop likely cause substantial deforestation and commensurate loss associated stocks largely due displacement food from other areas. Deforestation would occur either EU if forests were not protected, or in parts world arising indirect change protected.

Fossil fuels are the main source of energy for transportation operations around world. However, fossil cause extremely negative impacts on environment, as well uneven distribution across countries, increasing insecurity. Biodiesel is one potential and feasible options in recent years to solve problems. a renewable, low-carbon fuel that increasingly being used replacement traditional fuels, particularly diesel engines. has several benefits such reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving air quality, independence. there also challenges associated with use biodiesel including compatibility existing engine technologies infrastructure cost production, which can vary depending factors location, climate, competing uses feedstocks.

Sustainable Development goals set out at the United Nations with broad support include targets relating to food security, energy access, and environment. Some national policies have turned renewable fuels achieve environmental goals, biofuel use mandates applied in countries that account for significant market shares. However, context which development were these put place might differ from current future conditions. The scope expansion be restrained by technical limits on blending rates, slower growth transportation demand after pandemic, interactions feedstock other agricultural commodity markets, could take different forms given larger volumes changes. Considering expected broader context, this study provides a 10-year outlook use, production, demands, related variables primary focus States Brazil. We find increasing both countries, particularly biomass-based diesel, projection period growing displacement of petroleum product-related greenhouse gas emissions, is consistent sustainable goal seven.
