Quantifying the land‐use change due to soybean‐based biodiesel in the United States
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.Abstract We quantify the impact of soybean oil‐based biodiesel production on US cropland, using a method that accounts for the intermediate effect of soybean crushing facilities. Based on U.S. Environmental Protection Agency data for biodiesel production and proprietary data for soybean crushing facilities over 2011–2020, we find that the elasticities ...

Exploiting CO2‐Derived Carbon in Lithium‐Ion Batteries
Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.In this work, a carbon nanomaterial (CNM) extracted from CO2 reduction treatment is used as the conductive additive in lithium‐ion battery graphite anodes and LiFePO4 cathodes. The electrodes are produced by casting, using both sodium alginate as a green, water‐soluble, alternative binder.

Toward Energy Justice Principles for Sustainable Lithium‐Ion Battery Technologies
Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.Prefeasibility life cycle assessment is used to evaluate the environmental, social, and supply chain impacts of lithium‐ion battery technologies, and the concept of distributional energy justice is discussed. By comparing chemistries and use cases, it reveals inequities in material sourcing and technology access.
