2 Grass in crop rotations Binds carbon in the soil which leads to improved cultivating properties (yield level, nitrogen efficiency, soil structure) Pre-crop effect What are the environmental and economic effects of intensive grass cultivation?

14 Summary Intensive grass cultivation contributes to SOC build-up which can turn arable land from GHG source to carbon sink produces biomass for renewable fuels which require some economic support. How much is SOC built-up/ghg mitigation worth?
15 Grass on marginal soils Can we produce sustainable vehicle fuel from extensively managed marginal soils?
16 GHG emissions field-to-fuel GHG emissions [g CO 2 -eq./mj] Marginal fields Recovered biomass DM yield [t/ha] Fossil diesel 60% reduction Mineral N fertilization 120 kg N/ha 100 kg N/ha 60 kg N/ha 0 kg N/ha Carlsson, G., Mårtensson, L.-M., Prade, T., Svensson, S.-E., and Jensen, E.S Perennial species mixtures for multifunctional production of biomass on marginal land. GCB Bioenergy.
17 GHG emissions field-to-fuel Minimum biomass DM yield at 60% GHG emission reduction: Minimum biomass DM yield [t/ha] y = 0,0825x + 0,2083 R² = 0, N-fertilization [kg/ha] A return of ca 80 kg DM biomass per kg N added is required! => N content of 1,25%; grass typically 2,5 %!
18 Economic aspects field-to-fuel Marginal fields Fully fertilized grass (digestate + mineral fertilizer) C1:m C2:m L:m Production cost [ /t] Resonable substrate price Biomass DM yield [t/ha] Carlsson, G., Mårtensson, L.-M., Prade, T., Svensson, S.-E., and Jensen, E.S Perennial species mixtures for multifunctional production of biomass on marginal land. GCB Bioenergy.
19 Economic aspects field-to-fuel 160 Marginal fields Production cost [ /t] PK-fertilized grass C1:m C2:m L:m 60 Unfertilized grass Biomass DM yield [t/ha] Carlsson, G., Mårtensson, L.-M., Prade, T., Svensson, S.-E., and Jensen, E.S Perennial species mixtures for multifunctional production of biomass on marginal land. GCB Bioenergy.
20 Summary Extensive grass cultivation on marginal soils can deliver biogas substrate that fulfills the 60% GHG reduction target for unfertilized grass crops and fertilized when yielding 80 kg/kg N with promising production costs at biomass yields >~6-8 t DM/ha with PK-fertilization >~4 t DM/ha unfertilized (e.g. with N-fixating plants)
21 Conclusions I Grass cultivation is an effective measure for turning the negative SOC trend Grass cultivation is currently not economically viable i cereal regions where it would give the greatest benefits Grass is an economically suitable substrate for co-digestion, where only small technical adaptations are needed
22 Conclusions II GHG mitigation target is barely missed, when excluding SOC effects according EU-RED It is reasonable to reach harvestable biomass yields 4-5 t DM/ha on marginal soils without fertilization, but K removal may reduce yields over time
