consumed in light-duty vehicles in Brazil. All natural gas used in the transport sector is
consumed in light-duty vehicles. Created using data from Ref 13.

Figure 25.1 Energy flows in current production systems for wheat-based ethanol in
Sweden. Straw harvest includes transport to farm-gate, and DDGS and ethanol include
energy inputs to plant gate. (Data adapted from Refs 6 and 16.)

Figure 25.2 Modeled development of C stocks in a Norway spruce forest in south
Sweden subject to three different management practices (described in the main text).
The single stands are plotted behind the landscape averages in the foreground.
