1 AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY OF ATHENS Use of energy crops for phytoremediation purposes Dr. Eleni G. Papazoglou, SPEED, 19 April 2016, London, UK AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY OF ATHENS Bioenergy is the largest global source of renewable energy, and contributes an estimated 10% of global primary energy production, in particular as a direct source of industrial and domestic heat. Global energy use Source: International Energy Agency,
2 AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY OF ATHENS Energy crops Food vs fuel dilemma Marginal agricultural land Contaminated land Municipal wastes and residues BIOMASS FUELS Forestry Agricultural residues Biomass could provide a significant proportion of the heat, electricity and fuel demand of the future Linking phytoremediation with the production of added value biomass Phytoremediation Sustainable phytoremediation by using high biomass producing crops Non-food crops The harvested biomass can be used as: feedstock for bioenergy purposes from energy crops, and/or production of biomaterials from fiber crops (textiles, pulp and paper, geotextiles, building insulation materials, etc). 2
3 Added value pyramid of biomass uses The highest added value is at the top of the pyramid and the lowest at the bottom. On the contrary, the lowest volume of biomass is at the top of the pyramid while the highest at the bottom ( Biomass to energy Energy crops Oil plant species Lignocellulosic plant species Sugar plant species Vegetable oil Solid biofuel Biogass Bioethanol Biodiesel Syngass Heat and power 3
4 High biomass yielding non-food crops Oil crops (jatropha, safflower, rapeseed, castor, etc.) Lignocellulosic crops (giant reed, switchgrass, miscanthus, cardoon, reed canary grass, etc.) Short rotation forestry (eucalyptus, poplar, willow, etc.) Sugar crops (sweet sorghum, sugar beets, etc.) Fibre crops (kenaf, flax, hemp, nettle, etc.) Energy crops for phytoremediation North and Central Europe: - miscanthus - poplar - willow - flax - hemp - reed canary grass South Europe: Winter growing: flax, cardoon Summer growing with limited irrigation: giant reed, agave, switchgrass Summer growing with irrigation: miscanthus, kenaf, hemp, ramie, sorghum 4
5 Energy crops for phytoremediation Desired characteristics of energy crops Tolerant to soil contamination (Excluder or Accumulator ) Accumulate Trace Elements in aerial biomass (phytoextraction) High yields (biomass yields, oil yields, sugar yields) Low production cost (low inputs for water and fertilizers, etc.) Environmental friendly way of cultivation Able to be cultivated in contaminated land with satisfactory yields, giving satisfactory net profit Adapted to the pedo-climatic conditions of the contaminated area Arundo donax (Poaceae) giant reed Non-food lignocellulosic crop Wild growing plant in the Mediterranean region Life time 15 to 20 years Can grow in all types of soils It is considered the champion of the biomass crops due to its high biomass yields ( up to 40 t/ha dry matter yields) can be cultivated with satisfactory yields in marginal lands Extremely pest resistant crop One of the most cost-effective energy crops 5
6 Arundo donax phytoremediation potential Cd Ni As Hibiscus cannabinus (Malvaceae) - Kenaf Annual spring lignocellulosic crop Wild growing plant in Africa Wide range of adaptation to soils Sensitive to cold. Optimum growth temperatures o C Relatively drought tolerant ( mm precipitation) Cultivated at high plant density, ranging from 300, ,000 plants /ha Dry stem yields from 8 to 15 t/ha 6
7 Hibiscus cannabinus phytoremediation potential Cd Pb As Fe Cynara cardunculus (Asteraceae) - cardoon Herbaceous lignocellulosic crop Perennial, with annual growth cycle Native to the Mediterranean region Moderate salt tolerant High efficiency in fertilizers uptake Wide range of adaptation to soils The plants restart to grow in autumn and pass the winter in vegetative phase, thus do not require irrigation Water requirement 400 mm Dry biomass yields from 12 to 20 t/ha 7
8 Cynara cardunculus phytoremediation potential Cd As Results from experiments conducted at AUA normal values in plant tissues Plant species As Cd Co Cu Mn Ni Pb Sb Zn Giant reed Kenaf Cardoon ,3? Jatropha Phytoextraction potential Kenaf Cardoon Giant reed Jatropha 8
9 Results from experiments conducted at AUA Tolerance ability Jatropha Giant reed Kenaf Cardoon Miscanthus x giganteus (Poaceae) miscanthus Perennial grass hybrid of Miscanthus sinensis and Miscanthus sacchariflorus Adaptation rate in EU: cold and worm regions Temperature requirement: 5-35 o C (min and max threshold) Water requirement: >1000 mm / year Rotation time: years Harvest time: autumn-early spring Dry biomass production: t/ha Product used: whole biomass 9
10 Miscanthus x giganteus phytoremediation potential As Cd Cr Cu Ni Pb Zn Al Ricinus communis (Euphorbiaceae) - castor Non-food oil crop Shrub or small tree Distributed throughout the tropics and subtropics, and is well adapted to the temperate regions Easily established, it can grow in marginal and degraded lands Rapidly grown Industrially important for production of non-edible oil High oil content (40-60 %) Cultivated in India, China, Brazil, Thailand 10
