Energetic use of agricultrual crops and Field forage production

Lecturer:

Course typ:

Lecture

Description:

Contents:
Management of agricultural crops for energetic use. Energy scenario and potentials,
emission of greenhouse gases, sources of energy from biomass and waste material,
selecting and processing biomass as a fuel. Biogas, fermentation process and plant
technology. Gasification, Fischer-Tropsch-Process. Benefits and restrictions by the
replacement of fossil fuel-based materials through biomass-based products.
The importance of field forage production (ffp) for organic cropping systems; basics of
ffp - plant species; integration of ffp in crop rotation systems ;environmental impact of
ffp, quality aspects; nutrient-dynamics

Learning outcome, core skills:
Based on the data presented, students are able to identify and calculate potentials
and limits of energy and raw material production from renewable plant resources.
Furthermore students are able to classify and to assess the importance of field forage
production for organic cropping systems.

Examination requirements:
Basic and theme specific deepened knowledge on the energetic use of agricultural
biomass and on the presented aspects of field forage production.
