Table 2 Analytic coding rubric for trade-offs systems: biomass energy production.
Part A rubric | Part B rubric | ||
|---|---|---|---|
Bin | Brief description | Bin | Brief description |
A | Increased water consumption | A1 | Less food produced |
B1 | Water scarcity/not enough water total | A2 | More land converted to meet food needs |
B2 | Generally, less water/decrease in water available | B1 | More water use |
B3 | Less water for other things | B2 | Less water available |
B4 | Change in human behavior in water use | C1 | Energy produced (corn creates biomass energy) |
C | Water prices change | C2 | Energy return on investment (ethanol is less efficient/lower EROI than other sources) |
D | Changes to river | C3 | Renewable energy, more sustainable energy, lower environmental impact source of energy |
E | Impacts to biodiversity/wildlife/ecosystem | ||
