Lignocellulosic Bioethanol from Giant Reed
Bioethanol is by far the most widely used biofuel for transportation worldwide and currently the only alternative to gasoline that can be used immediately without having to make any significant changes in the way fuel is distributed. Production of bioethanol from...
About Biogas: a Future Challenge
Currently biogas plays a smaller, but steadily growing role. Energy recovery from biogas by anaerobic digestion (AD) has been a welcome by-product of sewage sludge treatment for a number of decades. However, biogas has become a well established energy resource,...
Two Types of SILAGE Production: The most effective way of storing Arundo Donax for BIOGAS
Arundo donax is a perennial plant that acts as a perfect replacement for both traditional agricultural- and energy crops to produce biogas, thereby lessening expenses as of its high biogas yield per Ha cultivated and low agronomic and energetic inputs. In order to do...
BIOGAS to ELECTRICITY – fulfilling our energy demand with crops
The technology utilised for biogas production has been around for years. Other than the fact that it is a well-known and established technology, electricity generated of biogas is an eco friendly solution. Unlike other green energy such as wind and solar, biogas can...
2nd Generation Bioethanol – Why is it the better choice?
As there is a growing demand – and neccesity – for biofuels, we often find ourselves facing numerous questions. What are biofuels? How are they made and is it worth investing into feedstocks, like energy crops? If yes, what type of energy crop is the most...
Giant Reed to FORAGE LIVESTOCK
Giant reed, or Arundo donax, is mainly known as an herbaceous, perennial and rapidly growing energy crop, with an innumerable list of uses. Among its uses there is a potential to forage livestock. To know more about giant reed as a feedstock for domesticated animals,...
Are eco pellets the future of heating?
As the availability of wood fuels in Europe is limited, and also because we should adapt to a more economical attitude in the way we are treating our forests, high yield energy crops give an important contribution to biomass based energy production. It is high time we...
Alternative furniture – An eco-friendly solution for your home
In light of growing environmental awareness worldwide and future generations’ collective influence on the furniture market, furniture companies are increasingly focusing on the environmental impact of their procedures. A recent survey conducted by Capstrat Public...
The growing need for NON-WOOD PELLETS
Why do we need alternatives for wood pellets? Isn’t burning wood pellets a clean and carbon neutral way to heat up industrial and non-industrial buildings? As it has recently been discovered, it is not. The issue is not only with the sustainability, but also...
