Table 1 Origin and some field characteristics of the rush biomass collected for the different energy conversion experiments
From: The energy potential of soft rush (Juncus effusus L.) in different conversion routes
Location | Biomass yield (t ha−1) | Amount of harvested material (kg FM) | Amount of senescent material (% FM) | Conversion experiment | Substrate conditioning |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Darß | 2.0–4.0 | ~ 500 | 5–30 | Solid-state fermentation | Silage from pure rush biomass |
Rendsburg | 3.5 | ~ 25 | ~ 12 | Wet fermentation | Fresh rush biomass, thawed after freezing |
Rostock | 2.8 | ~ 2.5 | ~ 7 | Combustion | Fresh rush biomass, air-dried |
