DESCRIPTION:External Speaker: Dr Calliope Panoutsou\, Research Fellow at t
 he Centre for Environmental Policy\, Imperial College (www3.imperial.ac.uk
 /people/c.panoutsou)\n\nBiomass value chains for energy and materials: pol
 icy\, economics & logistics\n\nThe talk will provide an outline of recent 
 policies at EU27 (and a recent assessment for the NREAP bio-targets\, whic
 h countries will and which will not reach them and why)\, as well as a det
 ailed analysis of economics and logistics and how they can affect the biom
 ass integration into heat\, electricity and transport sectors (which are t
 he key cost areas).\n\nInternal Speaker: Dr Xiaoyu Yan\,  PDRA Energy Grou

 nUK biofuels – friend or foe?\n\nThe uncertainty in carbon intensity of 
 UK wheat ethanol\n\nBiofuels are frequently cited to save the day when all
  other technical options combined look insufficient to bring about the des
 ired emission reduction in the transport sector. However\, numerous and of
 ten significant sources of uncertainties exist in biofuel life cycles. How
  confident are we in estimating the emission reduction potentials of diffe
 rent biofuels given these uncertainties? Using UK wheat ethanol as a case 
 study\, we illustrate the quantification of uncertainties in life cycle em
 issions via stochastic modelling and compare the results with those from t
 raditional deterministic life cycle analyses.
