Abstract

At present, active scientific research studies are being carried out worldwide on alternative biomass resources that could replace wood. One possibility is to use plants belonging to the group of fast rotation energy crops, which includes Artemisia genus plants such as mugwort (Artemisia dubia Wall.). These plants easily adapt to the prevailing agricultural-climate conditions in Lithuania and can offer yields from 22 to 27 t ha−1 in dry matter. However, due to the low bulk density of the harvested biomass, extensive use of A. dubia for energy production is not sufficiently effective.
