1 University of California, Santa Cruz – August 8, 2011

2  50% increase in population by 2050  70% increase in food demand by 2050  40% increase in energy demand by 2030 The challenge is not simply meeting increased demand, but doing so sustainably.

9  Emerging policy innovations  Synergies with poverty alleviation  Perhaps better to ask “How?”

10 1. How much land is available? 2. What are the life-cycle impacts? 3. What is bioenergy precarious role in the climate-energy nexus?

12 12 1700 1710 1720 1) Abandoned agriculture areas from historical land use data (HYDE, SAGE) 2) Exclude agriculture-to- forest and agriculture-to-urban (MODIS12C1) 3) High estimate of potential yields from ecosystem model (CASA) 4) Regional bioenergy potential on abandoned agriculture lands.

16  Algae bioenergy sustainability (Wiley, Campbell, McKuin, WER, 2011)  Wastewater co-benefits  Efficient harvesting with electrocoagulation and electrofloculation (Trent, 2010)

17  Electrocoagulation / Electroflocculation  Surface charge analysis of algae (Wiley, Campbell, McKuin, WER, 2011)

18  A global resource… Abandoned Agriculture  Regional opportunities… Mountaintop Mining  No land use… Offshore Algae  Not commercially viable yet  Electrochemical approach is emerging

26  Converting Brazilian residue to electricity has greater GHG benefits than conversion to ethanol  Residue-based ethanol has small impact on US energy security but electricity would have massive impact on Brazilian energy security (Campbell & Block, ES&T, 2010)

39  Rapid growth with or without sustainability basis.  Resources available for a multi-disciplinary approach to bioenergy research and education.  Many opportunities for engaging with industry, policy, and mass media.

40  NSF/CAREER (Env’l Sustainability Program #0955141)  DOE/Institute for Climatic Change (#050516Z30)  Stanford/Carnegie: Chris Field, Joe Berry, David Lobell  Iowa: Jerry Schnoor, Greg Carmichael  NASA: Stephanie Vay, Randy Kawa  Wonderful Students! Andrew Mckuin, Brandi McKuin, Chi-Chung Tsao, Patrick Wiley, Xianyu Yang

41  Question: What are the life-cycle GHG emissions of ethanol (g CO 2 e MJ -1 )?  Objective: Team presentations in 30 min (~4 slides)  Materials: http://faculty.ucmerced.edu/ecampbell3/ucsc/http://faculty.ucmerced.edu/ecampbell3/ucsc/  Approach: Modify a widely referenced LCA model (Farrell et al., Science, 2006) with updated information  Team 1: Crutzen et al. (N2O)  Team 2: Plevin et al. (Feedstock location)  Team 3: Searchinger et al. (Indirect land-use)  Team 4: Fargione et al. (Direct land-use)
