Methodology

Data are model results that were produced under the Renewables bioenergy projects (2005, 2006). Models used are: 1) For agriculture (EU-25 except Luxembourg, Cyprus, Malta): Animlib scenario of the CAPSIM model with modified yields to account for the high share of environmentally orientated farming; 2) For agriculture (Germany and France, only): HEKTOR model to estimate the CO2 permit price effect for agriculture.

Additional information

'Oil crops' comprise rapeseed and sunflower. 'Crops for ethanol' include the potential of grains from maize, wheat, barley/triticale. 'Crops for ligno-cellulosic ethanol' cover the energy value of the whole plant (corn and straw) for wheat and barley/triticale. 'Crops for biogas' are maize (whole plant), double cropping systems, switch grass and the grass cuttings from permanent grassland. 'Short rotation forest and perennial grasses' include poplar, willow, miscanthus, reed canary grass, giant reed and sweet sorghum, which may often be used in whole-plant conversion systems like gasification, or biomass-to-liquid processes.
