Bioenergy Crops regenerative agriculture

Regenerative agriculture applied to bioenergy

Sustainability or positive impact? bioenergy and industrial crops must move into regenerative agriculture models. sd

Palm oil, canola/rapeseed biofuels, perennial crops for second generation and aviation biofuels, afforestation and woody species to replace coal and gas in hating systems; all of them can be compatible with circular economy, renewable energy and off grid systems in order to promote smart climate agriculture, positive impacts in biodiversity and a new approach to sequester CO2

We have already written several posts about our methodology which focuses on the following aspects:

Perennial agriculture, agro-forestry, analogue forestry combined with grains, annual oil-crops, starch crops and species adapted to marginal lands.
Soil amendments, compost ad biofertilizers as a co product in bioenergy systems and agriculture
Integration with food systems
Positive land use changes (e.g. mining sector and reclamation lands, areas with wildfires, desertification in abandoned and marginal lands)
Erosion control strategies
Increments in soil organic matter in the long erm
Use of waste materials from agri-industries, renewable energy options such as ashes, digestate from anaerobic digesters, biochar from pyrolizers, as well as forestry and livestock and agriculture (e.g. manure, straw, chips).
Cover crops, legume trees and fodder solutions
