Biomass represents an important source of renewable and sustainable energy production. Its increasing consumption is mainly related to the increase in global energy demand and fossil fuel prices, but also to a lower environmental impact compared to non-renewable fuels. These factors take RED II directives into consideration. In the past, forestry interventions were the main supply source of biomass, but in recent decades two others sources have entered the international scene. These are dedicated energy crops and agricultural residues, which are important sources of biomass for biofuel and bioenergy. Below, we consider four main value chains: • Oil crops: Oil production from non-food oilseed crops (such as camelina, Crambe, safflower, castor, cuphea, cardoon, etc.), oil extraction, and oil utilization for fuel production. • Lignocellulosic crops: Biomass production from perennial grasses (miscanthus, giant reed, switchgrass, reed canary grass, etc.), woody crops (willow, poplar, Robinia, eucalyptus, etc.), and agricultural residues (pruning, maize cob, maize stalks, wheat chaff, sugar cane straw, etc.), considering two main transformation systems: 1. Electricity/heat production 2. Second-generation ethanol production • Carbohydrate crops (cereals, sweet sorghum, sugar beets, sugar cane, etc.) for ethanol production. • Fermentable crops (maize, barley, triticale, Sudan grass, sorghum, etc.) and agricultural residues (chaff, maize stalks and cob, fruit and vegetable waste, etc.) for production of biogas and/or biomethane.Research & information: generalbicsscTechnology: general issuesbicsscagricultural productionagricultural residuesagriculture residuesagroenvironmental mappingash contentbio-based supply chainsbiocommoditybioenergybiofuelsbiomassbiomass qualitybioresourcecable yardercalorific valueCentral Italycerealscircular bioeconomyCO2 emissioncombine harvestingcommodityCorine Land Covercrop by-productsdigestatedry matter losseconomic analysisenergy cropenergy efficiencyenergy return on investmentenvironmental impactenzymatic hydrolysiseucalyptusEucalyptusexternalitiesfirewood logsforecastingfuelwoodgenotype × site interactiongreenhouse gas emissionsharvest indexharvestingharvesting lossharvesting methodsharvesting systemhigh-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysishog fuelhydrothermal pretreatmentintegrated biomass logistical centerJatropha curcas L.land suitabilitylife cycle assessmentlignocellulosic biomasslower heating valuemaize cobMiscanthus x giganteusmixed integer programming modelmodellingmoisture contentnew varietiesnitrogen contentoil cropsolive grovespine plantationsPolandpopuluspruningpruning harvestingpruning supply chainrenewable energyrenewable energy sourcesSalixshort rotation coppiceslopesoil organic carbonspatial analysisstaple foodsstationary chipperstorage of fine wood chipsstorage systemstrawsugar yieldsuitable areassulphursulphur contentsustainable productionthermophysical and chemical featuresthreshingtime studytree whole stemtriticumweed seedwheatwheat chaffwillow biomasswillow biomass productionwoody biomasswork performancework productivityyield energy valueResearch & information: generalTechnology: general issuesPari Luigiedt1328660Pari LuigiothBOOK9910557153303321Renewable Energy Production from Energy Crops and Agricultural Residues3038791UNINA
