Biomass energy crops

Table 29. Projected Delivered Costs for Candidate Biomass Energy Crops in 1990 and 2030 ...

Overall, the research that has been completed in the United States on the development of herbaceous biomass energy crops shows that a wide range of suitable species exist from which good candidates can be chosen for each area. 

However, the biomass declared e.g. herbaceous biomass, energy crops) can be used only once (either thermo-chemical or bio-chemical or physical-chemical). Thus the entire fuel potential amounts for the German example to approximately 1,000 to 1,300 PJ aT (approximately 8% of the present German primary energy consumption).
