Project Update and New Aspects of the LCA on RME
Runtime 01/2003 – 12/2003
In recent years the popularity of biodiesel (rapeseed oil methyl ester, RME) has increased dramatically in Germany. Starting with the overall comparison between RME and conventional diesel fuel, the...
moreProject Bioenergy chains from perennial crops in South Europe
Runtime 01/2002 – 12/2005
The project was a feasibility study to evaluate an entire Southern European bioenergy chain, i.e. from biomass production to thermochemical conversion, under consideration of technological, financial/...
moreProject Ecologically Optimized Extension of Renewable Energy Utilization in Germany
Runtime 06/2001 – 12/2003
The objective of the research project is to develop a strategy for an ‘ecologically optimised’ expansion of renewable energies in Germany. Based on a detailed life cycle assessment, in a first step...
moreProject Environmental comparison of RME and rapeseed oil
Runtime 01/2000 – 12/2001
Ziel der Untersuchung ist ein ökologischer Vergleich für die beiden Bioenergieträger Rapsöl und RME. Dabei sollen unterschiedliche Verwendungen der anfallenden Nebenprodukte genauso berücksichtigt...
moreProject Bioenergy for Europe: Which ones fit best? A comparative analysis for the Community
Runtime 01/1998 – 12/2000
The project's aim was to assess – by means of life cycle analyses – the environmental effects of various biofuels and to compare them against their fossil equivalents as well as against each other.
moreProject Sustainable Biomass Potentials in the German State of Baden-Württemberg
Project finished in 2005
While the energetic use of biomass is a positive development, the recent rapid increase of biomass production may also have negative impacts on soil, water and nature protection.
moreProject CO2 Mitigation through Biofuels in the Transport Sector
2003 - 2004
This study has analysed and compared all international, publicly accessible publications about all biofuels for transportation currently being used.
moreProject Bioenergy from Cereals and Sugar Beet: Energy and Greenhouse Gas Balances
Project completed 2008
IFEU was commissioned by the German Biofuel Association (LAB) to evaluate the life-cycle energy balances and greenhouse gas emissions of selected bioenergy paths from cereals and sugar beet including...
moreProject BioGrace
Runtime 12/1901 – 03/2015
The BioGrace calculation tools were used to calculate GHG emissions from bio-energy sources, and are available to all market participants. The tools are harmonised within the framework of EU...
