GCB Bioenergy

In GCB-Bioenergy's April Issue Round Up Podcast, we explore three featured articles. The first article looks at the environmental impacts of harvesting wheat residue in Australia. In our second article, we look at Brazil and how it was able to reduce the production costs of ethanol. Lastly, our third article looks at a potential advanced biofuel, and how the use of a certain type of fertilizer affects it.

In GCB-Bioenergy's February Issue Round Up Podcast, we explore Miscanthus, a bioenergy crop, and the lack its lack of genetic diversity - palm oil, a rapidly expanding crop in the tropics, and the potential consequences of this expansion on the global carbon cycle. And the pros and cons of using corn harvest leftovers for bioenergy.

In GCB-Bioenergy's December Issue Round Up Podcast, we explore charcoal and the trade-offs between its different benefits as a soil amendment tool, the biofuel potential of sweet corn's residue and crop residue data to support future bioenergy policy in northern China.

In GCB-Bioenergy's September Issue Round Up Podcast, we explore the potential of using a slurry of manure and crop byproducts on patty fields in China and we look at a method of maintaining large-scale production of biofuel crops in Australia.

In GCB-Bioenergy's June Issue Round Up Podcast, we explore three featured articles.

In GCB-Bioenergy's Special Issue on Biodiversity podcast we explore how the increasing commercial use of bioenergy crops will affect biodiversity.

In GCB-Bioenergy's Special Issue Round Up Podcast, we explore supply and demand of bioenergy in Great Britain with University of Aberdeen Professor Pete Smith.

In GCB-Bioenergy's Virtual Special Issue on Miscanthus podcast, we explore the environmental impacts of the bioenergy crop with the guest editor of the journal, University of Illinois Associate Professor Tom Voigt.

We explore three featured articles. The long term yields of two bioenergy crops, Miscanthus and Switchgrass. How researchers are investigating using broken foliage to develop bioenergy. And how large scale planting of biofuel crops could increase the production of disease-carrying mosquitos.

The latest Issue Round Up looks at how climate change will affect switchgrass, the environmental impacts of planting this grass on a large scale, as well as management techniques for bioenergy crop growth and the reduction of environmental impacts.
