Abstract:
... Perennial grasses can be planted in marginal lands, and the perennial grass species switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) has emerged as an ideal candidate for bioethanol production. To choose the optimal soil water content and pH value for bioethanol production using switchgrass, a greenhouse experiment was conducted with five pH levels (4.9, 6.3, 7.0, 7.7, and 9.1) and five soil water contents (8%, 16% ...

Abstract:
... Perennial crops, as energy feedstocks, offer ecological advantages over fossil fuels by contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gases and fossil energy savings. Yet, the intensity of agricultural production may increase the pressure on soil, water resources and on biological and landscape diversity. Moreover, land use competition with food crops is demanding a spatial segregation of energy pro ...

Abstract:
... Research was conducted to determine the feasibility of using a chopped harvest and anaerobic storage system to conserve mature, high dry matter (DM) switchgrass and reed canarygrass intended as cellulosic biomass feedstocks. The grasses were anaerobically stored in farm-scale silo bags for over 220 days. Switchgrass DM content was either 459 or 566 g kg−1 and reed canarygrass DM content was 525 g ...

Abstract:
... Texas High Plains (THP), which is an important cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) growing region in the United States faces challenges from declining/deteriorating groundwater levels/quality, recurring droughts and severe wind erosion. Growing cover crops after harvesting cotton and/or changing land use from cotton to perennial bioenergy crops could not only address above challenges, but also assist i ...

A systematic review and meta-analysis were used to assess the current state of knowledge and quantify the effects of land use change (LUC) to second generation (2G), non-food bioenergy crops on soil organic carbon (SOC) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of relevance to temperate zone agriculture. Following analysis from 138 original studies, transitions from arable to short rotation coppice (SRC, ...

Abstract:
... Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) is a perennial grass highly valued as an energy crop resource for the production of bioethanol due to its high carbohydrate content, fast growth, and ability to grow in lands that cannot support crop or food production. In the present study, this biomass was submitted to steam explosion pretreatment in a semi-continuous pre-pilot reactor with the aim of obtaining a p ...

Abstract:
... As aboveground biomass of perennial grasses is harvested for feedstock or bioenergy production, root biomass C and N become primary C and N inputs for enhancing soil C and N sequestration. Information is scanty about root biomass C and N and subsequent soil C and N stocks under bioenergy perennial grasses applied with various N fertilization rates in semiarid regions. We evaluated the effect of pe ...

Abstract:
... Land use change resulting from bioenergy production has the potential to affect regional water quality. Water quality impacts associated with bioenergy production have been extensively modeled in the Midwest, but are not sufficiently quantified for other regions. The Black Creek watershed is located in the Pee Dee River basin in South Carolina, an area that has high bioenergy production potential. ...

Abstract:
... Expectations are high for energy crops. Government policies in the United States and Europe are increasingly supporting biofuel and heat and power from cellulose, and biomass is touted as a partial solution to energy security and greenhouse gas mitigation. Here, we review the literature for yields of 5 major potential energy crops: Miscanthus spp., Panicum virgatum (switchgrass), Populus spp. (pop ...
