Forestry and Energy Crops

Also indexed as: Energy Crops and Forestry Products

Wood can be used as a fuel both as a by-product from forestry operations and as a crop grown in its own right. Other crops can also be grown for energy purposes (e.g. oil seeds, sweet sorghum, etc). Combustion is the most common technology used to extract the energy but there is also a range of other technologies that can be used depending on the end use energy requirement (gasification, pyrolysis, anaerobic digestion, fermentation, etc).
