This session invites abstracts dealing with "cradle-to-grave" environmental life cycle assessments of bio-based fuels, energy and chemicals derived from biological feedstocks. Greenhouse gas emissions are of particular interest but other impacts such as water use / quality, biodiversity, ecosystem and soil health are relevant. Effects on LCA results of study assumptions and methods such as system boundary, data source, and allocation are welcomed.
