Characterisation of Feedstocks
Description:
The characteristics of 5 types of bioenergy feedstock crops were measured in relation to growing conditions and methods.
The Characterisation of Feedstocks Project was commissioned by The Energy Technologies Institute (ETI) and carried out by Forest Research, and Uniper Technologies Ltd (formerly part of E.ON).
Five crops were considered: Miscanthus, willow short-rotation-coppice (SRC), poplar SRC, poplar short-rotation-forestry (SRF), and conifer SRF.
Eight studies were carried out:In phase 1 (fieldwork spring to autumn 2015):1. To examine the impact of climate zone, soil type, harvesting time, and storage on Miscanthus, willow SRC, poplar SRC, poplar SRF and conifer SRF2. To examine the variation between and within fields of Miscanthus and willow SRC3. To examine the feedstock characteristics of willow SRC and poplar SRF leaves4. To examine the feedstock characteristics of Miscanthus before and after pelletisingIn phase 2 (fieldwork November 2015 to November 2016):V1. To examine the impact of harvest time on Miscanthus characteristicsV2. To examine the impact of harvest time on willow characteristicsV3. To examine the impact of varieties on willow characteristicsV4. To examine the impact of storage time on Miscanthus characteristics
