Studies on the perspectives of replacing the classic energy plants with Jerusalem artichoke and Sweet Sorghum, analyzing the impact on the conservation of ecosystems

Abstract

To accurately predict the impact of various species of plants on environment is a very difficult task, because their characteristics and specificities together with the external conditions of climate and fauna lead to very complicated systems that are difficult to analyze. The paper aims to assess two technical plants that may be used for the production of biofuels, namely Jerusalem artichoke and Sweet sorghum in evaluating fuel production efficiency and the possibility of being regarded as a viable solution for ecosystem conservation.

Decentralized Processing Performance of Fruit and Vegetable Waste Discarded from Retail, Using an Automated Thermophilic Composting Technology

“…The experiment concluded that a high species diversity is needed for proper bacterial population stability and metabolic versatility, while the maximum desirable temperature for continuously thermophilic composting is found to be maximum 60 • C. In order to reduce composting time and increase the quality of the compost, the ratio between leaves and straw should be as high as possible, at least 2:1 [33], alternatively the composting process will take longer. The poorly-matured compost has to be applied far in advance of cultivating a crop to allow for supplementary biological activities in the soil [34,35].…”

Revaluation of bamboo as biomass

“…In recent decades, there has been a tendency to exploit biomass sources to replace traditional fossil fuels. Such a material capable of producing large amounts of biomass is the bamboo [1].…”

“…Biomass (vegetable material) is a renewable energy source which becomes more competitive compared to traditional energy production sources in terms of system installation expenses and energy production costs [1]. Biomass stores the energy it receives from the Sun using the process called photosynthesis.…”

Considerations Regarding the Development of New Equipment Used for Hemp Harvesting

“…Climate change is already affecting food security through increasing temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and increasing the frequency of some extreme events. In the current changing conditions, research is needed on the development of various crops, that are having superior adaptive capacities and are less affected by climate stress (Nenciu, F., et al 2021;Vlăduţ V., et. al.…”
