Economic evaluation of hemp (Cannabis sativa) grown for energy purposes (briquettes) in the Czech Republic

Original language description

Depletion of fossil fuels and their environmental risks have brought to the foreground energy crops as a possible source of bioenergy. Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) has been suggested for production of solid biofuels (briquettes) due to good physic-mechanical properties as well as positive energy and combustion characteristics. This study determined economic potential of hemp briquettes production in the Czech Republic. A field trial was conducted in 2009?2014 in Prague in order to compare biomass yield (BY) of hemp varieties Bialobrzeskie(B) and Ferimon (F) harvested in autumn and spring period. Based on obtained results this study determined production costs of hemp briquettes (CZK t-1), revenue (CZK t-1) and rate of return (%) for four scenarios (B, F harvested in autumn and B, F harvested in spring). Briquettes production costs ranged from 4,015 CZK t-1 to 4,707 CZK t-1 for B in spring and B in autumn, respectively, due to 30% lower biomass yield in sp
