Target:• High energy yields • Environmentally compatible production way

APPLICATIONS: Use this crops in biogas plants Use this crops directly e.g. pellets

For production of heat, electricity und fuels

Bio-energy crops

IMPORTANCE:• Trend: Increasing land use for bio-energy crops• Alternative supply for fossil raw materials like oil and gas• Public targets for increasing the percentage of bio-

energy crops like in Germany from about 5 to 15%

• That means increasing number of bio-energy trials!
