This final publication of the BIO4A project provides a summary of the main results obtained by the different research and demonstration components of BIO4A and their relevance for the current context of SAF deployment.
Using Landfill Sites and Marginal Lands for Socio-Economically Sustainable Biomass Production through Cultivation of Non-Food Energy Crops: An Analysis Focused on South Asia and Europe
Food security and energy transition are among the current major global environmental challenges. Although these issues individually are significant in their own right...
Analysis of actual land availability in the EU; trends in unused, abandoned and degraded (non-)agricultural land and use for energy and other non-food crops
Over recent decades two diverging trends in the use of agricultural land are apparent - intensification and specialisation on land with greater production potential and abandonment and degradation...
The paper is a brief Comment on the article of D.J. Connor, 2022 (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.agsy.2022.103404). Connor compares how much human-metabolizable energy (HME) could be produced in Swedish organic...
The distribution of crop and fodder production in organic and conventional farms is established for eight regions of Sweden.
Regional yield per ha (mass and metabolic energy) of grain and fodder crop...
This report presents an assessment of the state of the art of key technologies for heat and power from biomass, namely combustion, anaerobic digestion, as well as intermediate energy carriers produced by using...
Compost from willow biomass (Salix viminalis L.) as a horticultural substrate alternative to peat in the production of vegetable transplants
Willow ( Salix viminalis L.) is a species well adapted to the environment conditions of central Europe. It is mainly cultivated for energy purposes as solid fuel. In this study...
Restoring forest cover is a key action for mitigating climate change. Although monoculture plantations dominate existing commitments to restore forest cover, we lack a synthetic...
European collaborative project led by the University of Hohenheim shows: Combining bioethanol production with carbon storage can effectively reduce CO2.
