Agro Fossil Free - The possibilities of limiting agricultural emissions from wheat cultivation allocated for biofuels

General Description

The study compared the field N2O emissions from the four wheat cropping systems allocated for the production of bioethanol, estimated by the IPCC methodology and simulated by the DNDC model. The obtained results were used to estimate the agricultural greenhouse emissions. Agricultural emission estimations were made using the BioGrace v. 4 public calculator, which has been recognized by the European Commission as the official tool for calculating greenhouse gas emissions in accordance to the requirements of the 2009/28/EC Directive. The studies showed that the estimated agricultural emissions were lower than the standard values for wheat, included in the Directive. Taking into account the values estimated by the IPCC methodology in calculations of agricultural emissions, revealed a reduction of GHG emission in relation to conventional fuels ≥50% in all provinces except the Podlaskie. After introducing to the calculations, the values of N2O field emissions simulated by the DNDC model it turned out that the resource base for the production of bioethanol can also be extended onto the Podlaskie province.
