Why do we need dedicated energy crops?
NexSteppe isn't the only company developing dedicated energy crops.
Only one of the three -- the Fidelity Select Energy Portfolio-- is, by charter, a dedicated energy investor.
That seems logical for dedicated energy plantations, but it is done very rarely, if at all.
"If we're going to meet these mandates we have to move to actually having dedicated energy crops," Khanna said.
Strips of dedicated energy crops planted as alleys in extensive fields of food crops could serve diverse purposes.
The types of biomass feedstock which are utilized for energy purposes are categorized as: agricultural, dedicated energy crops, forestry, industry, gardens residues (Tumuluru et al. 2011).
Here, we assume that the relay harvests dedicated energy from the source, but the relay also recycles its own energy from loopback self-interference channel [15].
The scenarios focus on coarse categories of land use including food/fodder crops, so-called first-generation energy crops, dedicated energy crops and permanent grassland.
We therefore include scenarios with first-generation energy crops only (A1, B1; Fig. 2), spatio-temporal combinations of first-generation energy crops and dedicated energy crops (A2, B2; Fig. 2) and dedicated energy crops only (perennial crops, A3, B3, C1 3; Fig. 2).
