Project - BIOPATH
Research project
Advancing biofuel pathways with regional climate change implications (BIOPATH)
We explore the interactions between future biofuel pathways, land transitions, and the regional climate to identify synergies between land management and biofuel strategies for climate change mitigation and adaptation.
