Additional info
Maize cob cores have the broadest of all maize straw fractions, with a C:N (carbon to nitrogen) ratio of 100:1 on average. Cob cores are also characterized by a structural structure composed of three types of hard tissues. All this means that they decompose in the soil for a very long time. Corn cob cores contain little nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium (N, P, K, Mg) as well as sulfur and chlorine compared to cereal straw. The collection of corn cob cores as an energy material using the Power Maize® technology is part of the strategy of two-way field use, i.e. the production of grain intended for fodder for the food industry and energy biomass. Such an approach raises no doubts of an ethical nature and, above all, is in line with the so-called fuel production strategy. second generation.

Assessment
This section contains a brief assessment of the FEFTS described.
There are 3 basic categories: General, Environmental and Socioeconomic assessment.
The purpose of this assessment is to give a quick overview to the potential FEFTS user of its application benefits.
For each question, the Likert scale is used with the following possible answers:
Strongly disagree, Disagree, Neither agree nor disagree (Neutral)/non applicable, Agree, Strongly agree
General
This FEFTS contributes to improve the energy profiles of farming systems:Environmental
The application of this FEFTS directly reduces fossil energy use, in terms of:- Buildings heat use
- Buildings electricity consumption
- Tools and equipment electricity consumption
- Fertilizer reduction
Socioeconomic
The application of this FEFTS contributes to cost reductions of farming systems:Keep in mind that this assessment is subjective, based on publicly available information.
All registered users are asked to evaluate each FEFTS and when an adequate number of reviews is gathered the results depicted here are updated. Each review is screened in order to avoid malicious practices.
FEFTS providers who do not agree with the assessment results, can send their inquiry to info@agrofossilfree.eu and a direct action based on their petition will be taken.
