Giant reed (Arundo Donax L.) and African fodder cane (Saccharum spontaneum ssp. aegypticum) are perennial, non-food and low-input energy crop representing a promising solution to produce renewable energy at low cost, especially in marginal areas - i.e. low profitable areas which are prone to land abandonment. This research investigates the biomass composition and the biochemical methane potential (BMP) yield of these crops and the effect of a hydrothermal pretreatment on the biomass composition and on BMP yield.
Evaluation of the thermal pretreatment on the methanogenic potential of two lignocellulosic crops: A. Donax and S. Spontaneum

Abstract
Giant reed (Arundo Donax L.) and African fodder cane (Saccharum spontaneum ssp. aegypticum) are perennial, non-food and low-input energy crop representing a promising solution to produce renewable energy at low cost, especially in marginal areas - i.e. low profitable areas which are prone to land abandonment. This research investigates the biomass composition and the biochemical methane potential (BMP) yield of these crops and the effect of a hydrothermal pretreatment on the biomass composition and on BMP yield.File in questo prodotto:
