- Abstract:
- ... Agricultural waste is a huge pool of untapped biomass resources that may even represent economic and environmental burdens. They can be converted into bioenergy and bio-based products by cascading conversion processes, within circular economy, and should be considered residual resources. Major challenges are discussed from a transdisciplinary perspective, focused on Europe situation. Environmental ...

- Abstract:
- ... Agriculture-based climate change mitigation may occur through enhancing the carbon sink or through reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions from agricultural residue treatment, as open burning of agricultural residues produces millions of tons of GHGs and air pollutants annually worldwide. Charring slashed biomass, termed as slash-and-char, has been considered as a promising alternative to open ...

- Abstract:
- ... Denmark and Sweden have an annual cultivation of straw-producing crops on about 16,000 and 11,000 km2 respectively. However, the actual use of straw for energy differs considerably: 1.35 Tg y−1 in Denmark and 0.11 Tg y−1 in Sweden. The main objective of this study was to investigate why the use of straw for energy is much larger in Denmark than in Sweden. Differences and commonalities in the condi ...

In the context of energy transition, agriculture is facing a double challenge, which is to reduce its fossil fuel dependency and provide—in addition to food—bioenergy to society for substitution to fossil fuels. The feasibility of this challenge depends on whether agriculture can achieve energy neutrality, meaning to balance its consumption of external energy by energy recovery from in ...
