The Authors determined the energy yield of a dedicated biomass plantation established with
clonal Eucalyptus grandis× Eucalyptus urophylla. The plantation was designed as high …

According to some studies, the use of forest biomass for the generation of electric power
and/or heat would result in a significant reduction in the emission of greenhouse gases. This …

Woody biomass can be used for supplying energy as a strategy to mitigate climate change
and increase energy security by reducing the dependency on fossil fuels. The aims of this …

Background and Purpose: Most projections of the global energy use predict that biomass
will be an important component of primary energy sources in the coming decades. Short …

Single stem tree crops grown on rotations of less than 10 years have attractions as energy
crops. Such rotations appear realistic for many areas of the UK, provided high standards of …

Biomass is an interesting option as renewable energy source around the world. In this work,
the Eucalyptus urosemente, a hybrid formed from the combination of Eucalyptus grandis x …

Considerable potential exists in the UK for utilising woody biomass, grown under short
rotation forestry management systems, to produce electricity or heat. There are benefits to …

Wood energy plantations are being considered in several countries for achieving greater
energy independence. Many of the projects are still in research and development stages …

This study aimed to determine the energy productivity of the different compartments of above
ground biomass of forest species: Acacia mearnsii De Wild, Eucalyptus grandis W. Hill ex …

Eucalypts are widely grown throughout the world for timber, essential oil, fuel, biomass and
cut foliage. In experiments in University College Dublin (UCD), Eucalyptus gunnii yielded an …
