Incorporating Bioenergy Production and Landscape Restoration: Lessons from Ce...CIFOR-ICRAF
This document summarizes a project investigating sustainable bioenergy production on degraded land in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. The project aims to identify potential for sustainable biomass on degraded land, restore degraded areas, and support rural livelihoods. It involves reviewing land availability and species suitability, establishing research trials of key species on degraded peatland, analyzing fuel productivity and business models, and engaging stakeholders. Preliminary results identified 19 tree species suitable for degraded terrestrial soils and 13 pioneer species for peat soils. The project provides opportunities to restore land while producing sustainable bioenergy and supporting rural communities, but further work is needed to fully understand environmental trade-offs, governance, and markets.
The document discusses the potential for a sustainable biofuels industry to contribute to economic development in Nigeria. It notes that agriculture previously provided the foundation for oil and gas development, but its GDP contribution has declined. A biofuels industry could engage smallholder farmers, with feasibility studies finding sugarcane, cassava, and oil palm to be promising feedstocks. Developing biofuels in a sustainable way would employ productive local crop varieties, suitable for different regions, and modern conversion technology. This could generate jobs and wealth while creating a high-impact renewable energy industry for Nigeria.
BioEnergy is an Egyptian pioneer in waste refining established in 2012. It operates facilities producing alternative fuels from waste for cement companies. The company was founded by Eng.

This document provides an overview of biofuels, including their classifications, sources, and production processes. It discusses various food crops that can be used for biofuel production, such as sugarcane, maize, rice, and mustard. It also covers non-food biofuel crops like jatropha. The document outlines the transesterification process used to produce biodiesel from oils. It discusses the benefits of biofuels but also notes concerns about their impact on food security and competition for land and water resources.
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled analyzing hi-tech opportunities to examine the increasing economic feasibility of algae biofuels. Algae can be grown in places where traditional crops cannot be grown and it consumes carbon dioxide, thus making it better than traditional sources of biofuels. It can also be harvested every 10 days thus making its oil yield per acre 200 times higher than corn and 40 times higher than sunflowers. The problem is that harvesting and extracting the algae requires large amounts of labor and energy (drying) and the algae may damage surrounding eco-systems. Thus new and better processes along with large scale production are needed to solve these problems. These slides discuss the various approaches (open pond, photo-bioreactor, fermentation), their advantages and disadvantages, their existing and future costs, and other improvements that are driving steadily falling costs. In the short term, algae will continue to be used in niche applications such as cosmetics, food, and fertilizers. In the long run, as the cost reductions continue, algae might become a major source of fuel for transportation and other applications.
This document discusses various types of biofuels including bioethanol, biodiesel, biogas, and biobutanol. It provides details on the production processes and feedstocks used for each type of biofuel. The advantages and disadvantages of biofuels compared to fossil fuels are also summarized.

ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.
