Cultivation of tall wheatgrass and reed canary grass for energy purposes in terms of environmental impacts
Original language description
Cultivation of energy crops for the production of thermal energy through direct combustion has become one of the trends within the ecological energetics. A number of perennial plants is grown in the conditions of the Czech Republic,too, for this purposes. One of them is reed canary grass (RCG). This species might gradually be replaced by another grass, better-performingtall wheatgrass (Elymus elongatus subsp. ponticus cv. Szarvasi-1). Greenhouse gas emission savings may be achieved due to the higher yield potential and energy yield when growing it. This article presents the results of emission load monitoring resulting from the RCG and Szarvasi-1cultivation for energy purposes. The simplified LCA method, respectively its Climate change impact category is used as a tool for emission load measuring. The results show that the emission savings of up to 45% per 1 GJ can be achieved when growing Szarvasi-1 for energy purposes in comparison with RCG.
