Wood (Botany 🌱)

Wood is a structural tissue/material found as xylem in the stems and roots of trees and other woody plants. Being a natural material, it is characterized as an organic material – a natural composite of cellulosic fibers that are strong in tension and embedded in a matrix of lignin and hemicelluloses that resists compression. Wood is sometimes defined as only the secondary xylem in the ...

#AGU23 Li (Ohio State U): Integrating biophysical impact of energy crops into LCA. Looking to maximize climate benefit include carbon impact AND albedo, temperature, evapotransoportation. Energy and water need to be included in LCA => quantify radiative forcing effect. We did see crop specific effects with energy+water eval => transition to switchgrass was costly but other transitions did see social savings. Subsidies need to include climate damages/savings.

"Yeah." Gehäckselte Pappeln, damit sie in Berlin verbrannt werden. 😬

Man achte auf das Framing: "Regionale Quelle"

Pappeln für die Heizung

Hunderttausende Bäume lässt der Energiekonzern Vattenfall seit einigen Jahren in Brandenburg und auch in Polen auf Plantagen hochziehen, um sie zu ernten und das Holz in Berlin als Biomasse zu verheizen.
