They have included also considerations in terms of water stress to determine the estimate for land availability and productivity and include the shortage of food production result- ing in negative potentials. The estimates for technical potentials from residues by Doornbosch and Steenblik (135 EJ/year) are higher than the high estimates used in this study. There seem to be a difference in categorization for this these numbers are not included. The overall estimate by these authors (245 EJ/year) is, thus, somewhat higher than the low estimates in the earlier studies considered here but the focus is more on residues and the regional availability is considered much lower in Asia including Central Asia. This study is not included in the overview as also some so- cial and environmental constraints are included in their considerations. However it does indicate the in reality the potential for energy crops can be expected much lower than the technical poten- tial estimated by the other studies. 3.2.2 Costs of primary biomass Whereas there is a large number of studies available assessing the technical potential of primary biomass on a global scale, limited studies are available assessing costs on a global scale. On a re- gional scale cost data are available for OECD Europe, Eastern Europe and the US, e.g. van Dam 2007; Siemons, 2004; Milbrandt, 2005. The cost of biomass from energy crops on a global scale depend on local climate and soil condi- tions has been assessed for four different scenarios by Hoogwijk, 2004. Here, the results from these scenarios have been taken, assuming that all the biomass crops potentials are used for elec- tricity, the standard process being a woody short rotation crops conversion to power in BIGCC plants. The cost estimates of the energy crops for the four scenarios are presented in Table 4 14

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
