5 Possibility for utilization of straw PROCESS PRODUCTS Pyrolysis Gasification Fermentation Liquefaction Combustion Gas of low calorie content Gas Biogas Liquid fuel Heat energy Profits from utilization of straw for energy purposes in Poland 1. For agriculture increase of the employment in the agricultural sector increase the agricultural incomes, reduction of the prices fluctuations of agricultural products, stabilization of the agricultural production size, stimulation of the local industry and development of the rural area. 2. For country protection the of environment through limitation of emission NO x and closed circulation of CO 2 increase of the energy safety of Poland.

In area of cereals increased in Poland from 7,8 to 8,6 mln ha. In this period the share of cereals in the cropping pattern increased from 54 to 75%. In cattle population was reduced of 31%, sheep of 6% and horses of 5%. There were farms whiteout livestock, 878 thousand in 22, that presented 45% whole.

12 What about future? Straw production for energy utilization in future will grow, because:: Area of cereals will be in the same level, and it can even grow to 9 millions ha. Area of rape will grow from,5 to 1 mln. ha, because of biofuel production and implementation of Directive UE (23/3WE). Utilization for fodder and litter will probably drop, because economic factors promote growth of individual production capacity at decrease of livestock. Recapitulation 1. In regions with crumbled agrarian structure, despite a straw surplus, harvest and transport of straw for energy purposes will be unprofitable. 2. The yields of cereals and straw undergo seasonal fluctuation and therefore regarding for utilization of productive force. Surplus of straw for energy purposes should be estimated at the 4-5 mln. ton. 3. Big amounts of straws can be assigned for energy utilization in regions with big farms. (low level of livestock, high participation cereals and rape in sown area ). 4. Precise estimation of straw surplus for country or voivodeship is difficult. Higher precision is possible for smallest administrative units, like administrative district or commune.
