Bio energy trials and silage maize trials Harvest

Bio energy trials and silage maize trials – Harvest with WINTERSTEIGER machines Christa Rechberger IAMFE Denmark, June 30 th – July 3 rd 2008 www. wintersteiger. com

Bio-energy crops • • silage maize topinambur silage grass miscanthus sunflower grass sorghum …. Folie / Page 2 SEEDMECH

Bio-energy crops • • silage maize topinambur silage grass miscanthus sunflower grass sorghum …. Folie / Page 3 SEEDMECH

Bio-energy crops Target: • High energy yields • Environmentally compatible production way § APPLICATIONS: § Use this crops in biogas plants § Use this crops directly e. g. pellets § For production of heat, electricity und fuels Folie / Page 4 SEEDMECH

Bio-energy crops IMPORTANCE: • Trend: Increasing land use for bio-energy crops • Alternative supply for fossil raw materials like oil and gas • Public targets for increasing the percentage of bio-energy crops like in Germany from about 5 to 15% • That means increasing number of bio-energy trials!
