The Effect of WASTEWATER IRRIGATION on Perennial Energy Crops
Using treated wastewater to irrigate energy crops is a favourable alternative for traditional irrigation, especially on marginal lands or in seasons when water is scarce. Although irrigating crops with reused wastewater (even when used to irrigate non-food crop) not...
Is Arundo INVASIVE? The EPA’s ruling is here to decide!
Despite the allegations it has received over the years, the countless counterarguments have succeeded to clear Arundo’s name from the list of dangerous invasive species - thereby concluding the debate: is Arundo invasive? Whilst the official ruling on the giant reed...
Availability of marginal land for industrial crops in the EU
In recent decades, the concept of marginal land has gained increasing interest under growing land use pressure owing to the increased demand for biomass for non-food purposes in biobased industries. In short, we have observed the phenomena of the ‘biomass dilemma’,...
Biomass Supply Report 2019 – The future is bioenergy
For almost a decade, the Bioenergy Europe Association has released a detailed statistical overview of the bioenergy sector within the EU-28 Member States. Not only does it show how the biomass supply chain evolved over the last years, but also its fast-growing...
Biocoal from Arundo donax: the torrefaction process
Biomass energy is considered a renewable form of energy because the organic materials used to produce it are never-ending. The only carbon released into to the environment from biomass fuels is the quantity that was absorbed by plants throughout their life cycle. This...
12 REASONS WHY: Arundo is better than Miscanthus
Deciding which energy crop to choose for your plantation is difficult, as most options have favourable features. Two of those options are Arundo donna and Miscanthus giganteus - similar crops that are both excellent for bioenergy, furniture or paper production....
Miscanthus: Reasons Why You Should Choose Arundo for Green Energy Production Instead
A growing demand for green energy production arises as more and more people realize just how crucial it is to find alternatives for our current energy sources. This brings along the dilemma of energy crops: which one is the best for green energy production, what...
Bioenergy Crops on Marginal Land
The definiton of marginal land can be explained from an economic point of view as well as from an agricultural perspective. However, it does not matter which definition of marginal land you come across, one phrase is surely there: low in value. Is this really the...
Comparing two non-food bioenergy crops: Arundo and Miscanthus
Both Arundo and Miscanthus energy crops have been studied and utilised for a while, but the latter has had the benefit of a higher popularity - until now. Over the last few years, scientists and bioengineers have assessed the two crops against each other. The purpose...
