Energy crops growing - impact on greenhouse gases emissions
Original language description
In Czech Republic, an important phytomass with energetic value is the maize. Besides other environmental impacts, maize cultivation is highly associated with anthropogenic emission production, which could suggest the substitution of maize with other energy plants (e.g. grasses) Reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea L.), Elymus elongatus subsp. ponticus cv. Szarvasi-1). Results of monitoring of emission load resulting from their cultivation for energy purposes were presented in this paper in the frame of a study case, where a simplified (streamlined) LCA method (Climate change impact category) was used based on the SIMAPro software (ReCiPe Midpoint (H) method). Within the cultivation of both grasses for energy purposes, CO(2)e production decreases on average by more than 20% per 1 kg of dry matter in the first three years of cultivation in comparison with maize, while it is possible to produce up to 80% less CO(2)e per the area unit. The lower emission load falls then on methane production.
