This study focuses on the improvement of life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology for assessing biofuel co-products. In particular, the study looks at the potential of algae biofuel.
In this study, a comprehensive model for assessing environmental, economic, and social impacts of biofuels will be developed based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). There will be special focus on both liquid biofuels and biopower (electricity generated from biomass) in California.
In this study, the researcher team proposes to conduct research on the impacts of SAEVs specifically on lower income and disadvantaged communities in California.
This project aims to utilize detailed travel behavior data to calculate time-specific regional demand for electric vehicle charging, specifically for the New York/New England region.
This dissertation develops an integrated modeling framework for advanced biofuel production system from dedicated energy crops under uncertainty. The goal of this framework is to support strategic infrastructure development and policy making for bioenergy production systems.
