Community-based propagation to scale up educational innovations in sustainability
Many high-quality educational innovations are freely available, and some are known to motivate evidence-based climate and sustainability action. Typically, efforts to propagate educational innovations rely on outreach and word-of-mouth diffusion, but these approaches tend to achieve little. We develop and analyse a dynamic computational model to understand why and to test other propagation strategies. Our analysis reveals that outreach has limite…
Does wood bioenergy help or harm the climate
The EU, UK, US, and other nations consider wood to be a carbon neutral fuel, ignoring the carbon dioxide emitted from wood combustion in their greenhouse gas accounting. Many countries subsidize wood energy – often by burning wood pellets in place of coal for electric power – to meet their renewable energy targets. But can wood bioenergy help cut greenhouse emissions in time to limit the worst damage from climate change? The argument in favor see…

13 015007), which found that using wood to produce electricity can worsen climate change at least through 2100, even if wood displaces coal. The result arises because (1) wood generates more CO 2 /kWh than coal, creating an initial carbon debt; (2) regrowth of harvested land can remove CO 2 from the atmosphere, but takes time and is not certain; and (3) until the carbon debt is repaid, atmospheric CO 2 is higher, increasing radiative forcing and …
Does replacing coal with wood lower CO 2 emissions? Dynamic lifecycle analysis of wood bioenergy
Bioenergy is booming as nations seek to cut their greenhouse gas emissions. The European Union declared biofuels to be carbon-neutral, triggering a surge in wood use. But do biofuels actually reduce emissions? A molecule of CO 2 emitted today has the same impact on radiative forcing whether it comes from coal or biomass. Biofuels can only reduce atmospheric CO 2 over time through post-harvest increases in net primary production (NPP). The climate…
