Energy crops

Energy crops are either the primary crop from cultivated fields, such as maize and grass silage, or the secondary crop from the production of food and feed, such as straw. In this group are also the crops from areas that are otherwise un-utilised for feed and food, such as golf courses. This category of biomass is unprocessed.

Used units are:

  • Ton for amount
  • % for dry matter (DM)
  • % of DM for organic matter and VS
  • kg per ton for macro elements (N, NH4-N, P, K, organic C, Mg, Ca and Na)
  • gram per ton for trace elements (Cu and Zn)

The shown values are to be considered as examples, alone, that illustrates the chemical composition for relevant parametres, and as well the variation in the composition. The references must be consulted in each case in order to clarify for instance the analysis method.

Aarhus University has validated the data and also provided information about volatile solids and gas potential of the biomasses. The original data can be downloaded from http://implement.nu/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Biogasdatagrundlaget_regneark.pdf. The biogas potential is based on either a mesophilic process (38°C) with 25 days retention time, or thermophilic process (53°C) with 17 days retention time and 10 days in storage tank (10% biogas collected in covered after storage tank).
