Abstract

Careful selection of crop species, amoung other aspects, is very helpful in enhancing energy production by way of increased biomass yields from agricultural land. A wide range of C3 and C4 plant species has been introduced and investigated for their environmental and climatic impact. The results indicate already that some perennial C4 crop species posses high yield potential, lower erosion-index, better CO2 reduction rates and need less fertilizer, water and chemicals.
