Abstract
⺠Life cycle assessment of energy production from semi-natural grasslands. ⺠Comparison of fuel production by dewatering, dry fermentation and hay combustion. ⺠Highest conversion efficiency and savings of fossil fuels by thermal conversion. ⺠Low efficiency by fermentation due to limited digestibility of the mature biomass. ⺠Biomass-based energy production leads to increased acidification and eutrophication.
