Biomass co-utilization with unconventional fossil fuels to advance energy security and climate policy
This report addresses potential synergies in the co-development of unconventional fossil fuels— particularly liquid fuels from coal and from ultra-heavy petroleum, such as bitumen from Canadian oil sands—and bioenergy to advance the twin goals of energy and climate security.
Transportation Adaptation to Global Climate Change
Research
Climate change will impact many sectors of the economy, and while required adaptations for some sectors already have been studied in depth, the same can not be said of transportation infrastructure.
Performance Metrics for the Evaluation of Transportation Programs
Research
America’s economic strength is due in large part to a surface transportation system that has historically ranked among the best in the world. Maintaining and enhancing that system to meet the transportation needs of the 21st century is therefore a critical national priority.
Research
The Bipartisan Policy Center’s National Commission on Energy Policy awarded the University of Tennessee’s Biobased Energy Analysis a grant to undertake an economic analysis of the economic costs and benefits from a Federal RPS policy to agricultural counties in Colorado, Florida, Kansas, and North Carolina. The focus of this study centers on the impact of RES policy on farm revenue, taking a close look at the true potential of new markets for biomass resources in these states and the revenue that these markets could generate at the farm level.
Impacts of Climate Change on Forests of the Northern Rocky Mountains
Research
The forests of the U.S.Northern Rocky Mountains are highly sensitive to projected climate change. Even under conservative projections of future climate change, dramatic effects on these forests are expected.
