摘要: Economic, energy, and environmental impacts of 11 types bioethanol feedstock in China were evaluated using a mixed-unit input–output life cycle assessment model. Corn grain wheat had higher negative economic, impacts. Sweet sorghum, cassava, sugar beet, sugarcane showed better economic performance but increasing energy Cellulose-based feedstocks general positive performance; may lead to on freshwater use, global warming, toxicity, aquatic ecotoxicity. Sugarcane-based the potential provide China. Scrap paper-derived ethanol could also become promising under significant government support.
