Ca. 14,000 ha are currently cultivated in Sweden for energy (with willow/Salix)

Predictions for rapid increase (e.g. Ministry of Agriculture, 2006)

Grown on agricultural land

Double-row system, fertilisation, weed control

Harvested every 3-4 years, life span app. 25 years

Average production: 6-10 t DM/ha/yr

SRC cultivated area has remained almost stable during the last 10 years, the predictions have not become true...

…farmers do not usually fertilise and biomass production is therefore lower than the potentially achieved…

…the recent increases in cereal prices give negative signs for area increase…

Can these trends for SRC be altered in the future?

Probably yes…

… if SRC “value”improves!

SRC improved value can happen due to:

• Increased biomass (better sorts/clones –fertilisation?)

• Cheaper management activities

• Better prices for willow chips

• Additional value, e.g. via environmental impact

So, what is the impact of SRC on the “near”/local

environment?

Table. Balance between supply via sludge–ash application and potential output via willow plantation harvest (in g ha-1 yr-1), for the various treatments, if a potential harvest occurred annually or every three years. The potential output with a stem harvest was calculated for a 30:70 bark:wood ratio for year 1 and a 25:75 bark:wood ratio for year 3. Changes indicate potential changes in the soil pool (In: Dimitriou et al., 2006)

Will/should all these environmental advantages

offering additional value to SRC compared to other agricultural crops be translated into “real”

value (in terms of compensation to the farmer)?
