Page 75 - Biofuels for a More Sustainable Future

Triple bottom line, sustainability and sustainability assessment, an overview 67

considering the entire biofuel life cycle and a multiplicity of environmental
and social indicators. However, to ensure that even a more comprehensive
and strategic assessment is performed key concepts should be taken into
account. Assessing biofuels against the carrying capacity of ecosystems,
the planetary boundaries, the nexus concept, potential of using more sec-
ondary materials for biofuels production in a circular bioeconomy are essen-
tial for achieving sustainable development goals for the environmental
dimension. Similarly, a full supply chain approach is needed for assessing
socioeconomic benefits and burdens, including externalities, spillovers,
and rebound effects.
