Overview

A framework improves sustainability by enhancing decision-making regarding biofuels, revealing various risks and their impacts.

Key Points

  • This research aims to develop a framework for assessing sustainability risks posed by various processes.
  • Developed a framework for screening processes to identify sustainability risks.
  • Applied the method to the system for UK's production and use of liquid biofuels.
  • Scored identified risks on a common scale and analyzed their severity.
  • Identified 18 distinct causes of sustainability risk in biofuel production.
  • The highest risk was linked to innovation risk optimism bias.
  • Price volatility due to competition for bio-feedstocks was also a significant risk.
