Otavio Cavalett is Adjunct Associate Professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). His main research interests are linked to bioenergy systems modelling and sustainability analysis, especially focused on environmental interaction between energy demand, land management and impacts on climate and other environmental areas of concern in relation to the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals. In this domain, special emphasis is given to life cycle assessment methods to capture the interconnections between supply chains and the environment, aiming to a better understanding of the complexities of the energy, land, and climate systems interactions. He is Contributing Author for the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report, the IPCC Special Report on Land and Climate Change, and also participated in the Global Warming Task Force of the UNEP-SETAC Life-Cycle Initiative.

This project aims to explore the synergies between biomasses production, diversification and logistics of defined value chains for the production of advanced biofuels (with a special focus on aviation biofuels) via thermochemical and biochemical conversion routes. Gasification of sugarcane bagasse, other biomasses and intermediate energy carriers is an important technological route to adv…
Bioenergy production, particularly liquid biofuels, has been promoted as a mean to enhance energy security and reduce climate change impacts. However, the expansion of biofuels production based on food crops and its impact on land use have given rise to the so-called "food vs. bioenergy" debate. At the same time, livestock production is the largest anthropic use of land resources worldwid…
Replacement of fossil fuels by biofuels has been considered an extremely important alternative in the transition process to a economy based in higher proportion of renewable resources in several countries. It is recognized that large-scale production of ethanol, sugar and electricity from sugar cane in Brazil presents environmental, economic and energy security benefits. However, new prod…
