To be an alternative to fossil fuel, biodiesel should provide a positive energy benefit and a sustainable energy income. Based on the principles of Life Cycle Analysis and using the energy benefits of exploiting Pistacia chinensis in China as a case study, this paper presents a quantitative...

Bio-energy from energy plants is expected to play an increasing role in the future energy system, with benefits in terms of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving energy security. <em>Pistacia chinensis</em> is believed to be one of the most promising non-food input for biodiesel production....
