Energy potential of vineyard biomass

Abstract

Big volumes of biomass from agriculture are potential which could be used like energy source. Areas, yields and values in the sense of energy and ecology of crop residues from orchards and vineyards (pruning residues) until now was not subject of special attention. Pruning residues availability is in unnecessary of previous preparing for burning and that use make much economical. Energy potentials demonstration of this kind of biomass aim of this work was, as well as, collecting in round bales with intention to higher efficiency in manipulation and burning. Testing results estimated on experimental faculty farm Radmilovac, show very significant differences in energy potential of various vine cultivars and their growing form variants.

Velike količine biomase iz poljoprivrede predstavljaju potencijal koji se može uspešno koristiti kao energetski izvor. Površine, prinos, energetska i ekolološka vrednost ostataka rezidbe u voćarstvu i vinogradarstvu (granjevina) do sada nisu bili predmet posebne pažnje. Prednost granjevine se ogleda u tome što je njeno sagorevanje najekonomičnije bez prethodne pripreme - u obliku u kojem nastaje. Cilj rada je da ukaže na energetski potencijal ove vrste biomase i mogućnost njenog sakupljanja u valjkaste bale radi efikasnijeg manipulisanja i sagorevanja. Rezultati istraživanja na oglednom dobru fakulteta Radmilovac, pokazuju vrlo značajne razlike u pogledu energetskog potencijala zastupljenog sortimenta vinograda i vinove loze i njihovih uzgojnih varijanti.
