Abstract

Virginia fanpetals is a highly versatile energy crop, and its biomass is converted mainly to solid biofuels and biogas. The aim of this study was to determine the biomass yield, energy inputs, and energy efficiency of Virginia fanpetals produced for solid biofuel during 13 successive years. Three types of propagating material were used to establish the plantation: seeds, root cuttings (rhizomes), and seedlings. Seeds were sown at a density of 1.5 or 4.5 kg ha−1, whereas rhizomes and seedlings were planted at a density of 20,000 or 60,000 plants ha−1.
