Bioenergie für Europa. Welche Option ist die beste?

Das Projektziel war, mit Hilfe von Lebenszyklusanalysen (life cycle analysis, LCA) die Umweltwirkungen von verschiedenen Biokraftstoffen zu analysieren und sie im Vergleich untereinander und mit den jeweiligen fossilen Brennstoffequivalenten auszuwerten.
