Potential land competition between open-pond microalgae production and terrestrial dedicated feedstock supply systems in the U.S.
To date, feedstock resource assessments have evaluated cellulosic and algal feedstocks independently, without consideration of demands for, and resource allocation to, each other. We assess potential land competition between algal and terrestrial feedstocks in the United States, and evaluate a...
