Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract The premise of a bioeconomy is the replacement of nonrenewable and unsustainable fossil‐derived resources and associated technologies with more sustainable alternatives. The adoption of biobased chemicals contributes toward the growth of a bioeconomy and is dependent on market and industry requirements.

Are there Carbon Savings from US Biofuel Policies? Accounting for Leakage in Land and Fuel Markets [PDF]
This paper applies the insights of the carbon leakage literature to study the emissions consequences of biofuel policies. We develop a simple analytic framework to decompose the intended emissions impacts of biofuel policy from four sources of carbon ...

Adaptive Algal Cultivation Enabled by a Monthly Biomass Forecasting System
Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.The developed monthly algal forecasting system used to predict biomass production for two algal strains (A and B) at two pond water depths (low and high). The highest predicted production, achieved with strain A at a low pond water depth, is selected as the cultivation strategy to guide the next month's algal growth.

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Isobutanol is a fusel alcohol that can be produced microbially for use as a biofuel or upgraded into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). A key enzyme in the isobutanol biosynthetic pathway is 2‐ketoacid decarboxylase (KDC), which irreversibly decarboxylates 2‐ketoisovalerate (KIV) to yield isobutyraldehyde.

The impacts of biological invasions
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Food waste is a sustainability concern in the food industry, which can be mitigated through a circular economy. Circularity can be limited by contextual constraints, such as the characteristics of the waste to be recovered. However, their study in the context of food waste is scarce.

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates how circular business models (CBMs) can lead to resilience. Despite the increasing number of CBM studies, they have not fully addressed the need for resilience. As such, we employ a multilevel perspective to reveal the existing and potential relationships between CBMs and resilience under the sustainability umbrella.

How Supply Networks Influence Sustainable Innovation: Evidence From Ghana's Public Works Procurement
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Recent environmental and sustainability standards in procurement increase short‐term production and operational costs to suppliers, which are often recouped by charging price premiums for innovative solutions. However, public buyers are less likely to pay such price premiums, resulting in a disincentive among suppliers to bid for innovation ...
