It was founded in 1990 and aims to promote biomass production and application throughout Europe.
Most common is the branching in V-form, this type has the highest biomass production.
This species has high biomass production, at about 40 tons/ha/year and can be harvested 4-6 times per year.
Although leguminous cover crops have large biomass production and turnover, they are not likely to increase soil organic matter.
Cogeneration must be the rule where biomass production is concerned.
In poor countries, especially, biomass production puts pressure on agricultural land and pushes up food prices.
We must ensure, however, that biomass production is sustainable and does not compete with food production.
Quite the contrary, the EU should particularly support the new direction of biomass production.
This project focuses on developing efficient biomass production and its conversion into useable energy.
The estimated biomass production in the world is 146 billion tons a year, consisting of mostly wild plant growth.
