Biogas and combustion potential of fresh reed canary grass grown on cutover peatland

摘要

(1) In Finland, in recent years, the combustion of dry reed canary grass (RCG, Phalaris arundinacea ) grown intensively on cutover peatlands, has decreased markedly. We therefore made experiments in two areas to assess the alternative of using freshly harvested RCG grown for biogas production on cutover peatland. We measured both biogas production and combustion energy release.
