Bioenergy from “surplus” land: environmental and socio-economic implications (2012, methodology): “Smeets et al. (2009) concluded that bioenergy chains based on pelleting of perennial grasses can result in GHG reductions compared with fossil fuel chains when annual cropping or grassland is replaced and net GHG reductions when natural vegetation is considered as the reference land use.”
European biomass resource potential and costs (2010, background): “References for the capital costs and miscellaneous for perennial grasses are derived for miscanthus [36], switchgrass [29] and reed canary grass [26].”
Miscanthus: A Promising Biomass Crop (2010, unknown): “…can be a good source of data that might be otherwise difficult to find (Jones and Walsh, 2001a; Lewandowski et al., 2000; Miguez et al., 2008; Smeets et al., 2009; Zub and Brancourt-Hulmel, 2010), our goal here is to provide an overview ofM. giganteus productivity, key factors that influence…”
