Life cycle assessment of two alternative bioenergy systems involving Salix spp. biomass: Bioethanol production and power generation

Two energy production systems using short rotation coppice (SRC) willow chips were evaluated: bioethanol production via enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis and electricity production following a biomass integrated gasification combined cycle scheme.
