Carbon footprint of miscanthus biomass
Apstrakt
Abstract: In this paper an overview of CO2emissions from the useof biomass of fast-growing plant miscanthus are given. The aim was to analyze and calculate a carbon footprint of all operations in the life cycle of miscathus like: preparation for rhizomes planting (application ofherbicides, plowing and harrowing on unused agricultural land), planting, fertilization of young plants, irrigation, mowing of plants, baling, transport to the nearest briquetting machine where briquettes are produced or to the nearest pyrolytic plant where pyrolytic diesel is produced. Emissions of CO2are taken from previously performed analysis and re-calculated for 1t of miscanthus biomass. The results showed the dominant impact of the briquetting operation due to high electricity consumption (70 kWh) which is in Serbia produced mostly from non-renewable energy sources (about 72%, from coal and natural gas). In accordance with the complete aban...donment of coal for energy production which became one of the main goals in the fight against climate change, a future scenario has been created. This scenario involved the production of electricity using only renewable energy sources (hydropower plants with the share of 22%, wind turbines with the share of 28%, solar panels with the share of 25% and heat pumps with the share of 25%). The results show drastic reductions of CO2 emissions, up to4,000 times in a case when renewable energy sources are used for electricity production compared to the current electricity mix used in Serbia. Nevertheless, despite high emissions of CO2from using electricity fromnon-renewable sources, it is concluded that miscantus is a more environmentally friendly solution for energy production than lignite briquettes and firewood that are normally used for the heating of households and that all measures aimed at reducing greenhouse gases emissions should be implemented to avoid catastrophic consequences on the climate and human health in Serbia.
Apstrakt: U ovom radu dat je pregled emisija CO2 usled korišćenja biomase brzorastuće biljke miskantus. Prikazana je analiza ugljeničnog otiska svih operacija u životnom ciklusu miskantusa kao što su: pripreme za sadnju rizoma (primena herbicida, zaoravanje i tanjiranje zaparloženog zemljišta), sadnja rizoma, đubrenje mladih jedinki, navodnjavanje, košenje, baliranje, transport do najbliže briketirke gde se vrši briketiranje ili postrojenja za pirolizu gde se vrši proizvodnja pirolitičkog dizela. Za emisije CO2prilikom ovih operacija korišćeni su podaci iz prethodnih istraživanja. Emisije CO2su izračunate u odnosu na 1 t proizvedene biomase miskantusa. Rezultati su pokazali dominantan uticaj operacije briketiranje usled velike potrošnje električne energije (70 kWh) koja se u Srbiji proizvodi najvećim delom iz neobnovljivih izvora energije (oko 72%, ugalj i prirodni gas). U skladu sa potpunim izbacivanjem uglja kao energenta za proizvodnju električne energije koje predstavlja jedan od glavnih ciljeva u borbi protiv klimatskih promena kreiran je budući scenario koji podrazumeva proizvodnju električne energije korišćenjem isključivo obnovljivih izvora energije (hidroelektrane 22%, vetroturbine 28%, solarni paneli 25% i oplotne pumpe 25%). Pokazano je da su uštede u emisijama CO2 nastale ovakvom zamenom energenata i do 4000 puta veće nego u slučaju korišćenja električne energije proizvedene klasičnim putem. I pored ovih visokih emisija CO2 usled dobijanja struje iz neobnovljivih izvora energije,miskantus je dokazano ekološki manje štetno gorivo u odnosu na brikete lignita i ogrevno drvo koji se inače koriste za grejanje domaćinstava i zaključuje se da svakako treba primeniti sve mere koje imaju cilj smanjenje gasova sa efektom staklene bašte kako bi se izbegle katastrofalne posledice po klimu i zdravlje ljudi u Srbiji.
