1 GHG Balance and Carbon Mitigation Potential of Bioenergy Crops Zoe M Harris PhD Student Funding: ETI Project Name: ELUM (Ecosystems and Land Use Modelling)

2 UK Specific Issues Fossil fuels running out Need to reduce GHG emissions Need for more sustainable source of energy Limited land capacity http://www.map-of-uk.com/images/terrain-map-of-gb.gif

3 Eddy CovarianceSoil Analysis IRGAStatic Soil Chambers LUC effect of a transition from Grassland to SRC Willow on GHG Emissions & SOC Ecosystem CO 2 flux DOC, NH 4 & NO 3 Soil CO 2 Flux Soil CO 2, N 2 O and CH 4 Flux

4 Crops for Energy Only way to convert suns energy into simple sugars Potential to generate energy and sequester carbon SRC is ideal due to rapid accumulation of biomass Low inputs – fertilizer & water
