THE FORAGE HARVESTER The most common types of forage harvesters (APPENDIX I) use a cylindrical cutterhead. These harvesters are provided with ad- justments to vary forage cut length by varying the speed of the feedrolls, relative to the cutterhead.* This permits the cutting of forage to suit specific requirements. Two variations of this type of harvester are in common use: 1.

  • Estimating the Energy Requirements and Co2 Emissions from Production of the Perennial Grasses Miscanthus, Switchgrass and Reed Canary Grass
    ESTIMATING THE ENERGY REQUIREMENTS AND CO2 EMISSIONS FROM PRODUCTION OF THE PERENNIAL GRASSES MISCANTHUS, SWITCHGRASS AND REED CANARY GRASS ETSU B/U1/00645/REP DTI/Pub URN 01/797 Contractor ADAS Consulting Ltd Prepared by M Bullard P Metcalfe The work described in this report was carried out under contract as part of the Sustainable Energy Programmes, managed by ETSU on behalf of the Department of Trade and Industry. The views and judgements expressed in this report are those of the contractor and do not necessarily reflect those of ETSU or the Department of Trade and Industry. First published 2001 © Crown copyright 2001 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Miscanthus, reed canary grass and switchgrass are three herbaceous perennial grasses that are currently being grown commercially, or evaluated, as energy crops for the UK. All are harvested annually and require low inputs of agrochemical fertilisers and pesticides. The research reported aimed to calculate the energy ratios and carbon ratios of the three crops. The energy ratio is the ratio of energy contained in the biomass upon delivery to the power station, to energy input in all phases of growing the crop. Similarly the carbon ratio is the ratio of carbon (C) contained in biomass upon delivery to the power station, to C (in CO2) emitted as a result of operations during all phases of growing the crop. In the first instance, base-case scenarios were developed for each species and the energy ratios calculated for these. For all crops, a productive lifespan of 20 years was assumed. In the cases of miscanthus and switchgrass this length of time was attained from planting in the first season only, for reed canary grass, re-sowing was estimated to be required every five years.
