Crops to Produce According to Bioenergy Use

New and innovative energy crops and cropping systems are needed with specific interest for bioenergy purposes. Assumptions about technological development and energy use throughout the conversion processes are considered.

Risø are well equipped with facilities for growth chamber-, greenhouse-, lysimeter- and field experiments to test potential energy crops including equipment and experiences for chemical analysis and characteristics of harvested biomass for bioenergy uses. With such facilities Risø are able to carry out research on new types of crops and management strategies.
