Increasing biomass of Silphium perfoliatum L. for energy production in Austria
Abstract
The central objective of the project “Bioenergy-Silphium” is an increase in bioenergy production in Austria by enhancing the sustainable biomass production with Silphium perfoliatum L. for energetic use without reducing the existing areas for human or animal food production. The productive yet undemanding perennial plant is an interesting option not only for areas that are already used for biomass production but also for areas that are currently used only to a limited extent or not at all. On the basis of results obtained by the Thüringer Landesanstalt für Landwirtschaft (Centre for Agriculture of the Land of Thuringia), solutions are conceived so as to better use potentials for biomass and energy yield. At the same time the objectives of minimizing erosion, emissions, and pollution of ground and surface waters by nutrient input are pursued.
