Primary biomass production (BIO-NRG Risø-DTU)

• Objectives assessment of biomass production, its
  conversion into bioenergy and recycling of waste
• establish sustainable agricultural biomass
  production (renewable resources, environment,
  crops, yield and quality, farming system,
  multifunctionality)
• methodology life cycle perspective, energy and
  material balances, variety of indicators (e.g.
  emergy accounting), aggregation of knowledge
  (meta-analyses, level of uncertainties)
• Staff and expertises
• Henrik Haugaard-Nielsen (agronomy), Hanne
  Østergård (ecosystem analysis, breeding) 5
  young scientists, master students (increasing!)
• Background mainly from food and feed production
  (forestry) now directed towards non-food (mainly
  bioenergy) production and use.

Present projects

• Bioenergy in organic farming multifunctional
  cropping systems and recycling of residues (FØJO
  III )
• National optimization of the biomass resource for
  biofuels production (Engestofte Søholt Fonden)
• Evaluating sustainability of bioenergy production
  using ecological and economic models (Risø)
• Foresight analysis for world agricultural markets
  and EU indicators especially in relation to
  bioenergy (EU6)
• Grain Legumes integrated project low-input
  farming and environment (EU6DFFE)
• Meta-analyses in agriculture (PhD project, SOAR)
  
• Healthy organic seeds meta-analyses of effects
  of intercropping (FØJO III)
• Sustainable low-input cereal production
  genotype-environment interactions (COST Action)
• Exploitation of natural plant biodiversity for
  pesticide-free production of food principles for
  organic plant breeding (EU6)
