“…Saidur et al (2012) argue that wood and wood wastes, followed by agricultural crops and their by-products, are the most important sources of energy from biomass. Cereal straw and wood biomass are the two major sources of renewable energy in central Europe (McKendry, 2002a(McKendry, , 2002b, given the large forested areas and a significant acreage of cereals.…”

A b s t r a c t. Cereal straw is an important biomass source inEurope. This work assessed: 1) the morphological and energetic characteristics of culms of spring and winter cereals, 2) the energy deposited in the different aboveground parts of cereals, 3) losses of energy due to different cutting heights. The straw of winter and spring cereals was collected from arable fields during the seasons 2009/10 and 2010/11 in southern Poland. Detailed biometric measurements of culms and internodes were performed. The losses of straw biomass and energy were assessed during simulation of cutting the culm at different heights, up to 50 cm. Longer and heavier culms were developed by winter wheat and triticale and oat. Cutting of straw up to 10 cm did not lead to significant losses in straw yield. The total amount of energy in the culms was as follows: triticale > winter wheat > oat > spring wheat > winter barley > spring barley. Cutting the culms above 20 cm led to significant differences in terms of biomass energy between cereal species. The smallest losses of energy were recorded for spring and winter barley. Oat and barley accumulated the highest energy in grains.

“…Saidur, R., et al [18] within his exergy analysis research conclude that compared to other methods, gasification found to be the main thermochemical process and was the most effective method of converting biomass. Gasification also determined as one of the main sources of exergy losses.…”

“…However, literature on exergy analysis of biomass fired water heating system is limited. Saidur et al performed an exhaustive literature survey on the exergy assessment of various biomass that can be used as fuel for cookstove [6]. Tyagi et al presented an experimental and comparative performance evaluation, using energy and exergy analyses, of four metallic types of cook stoves [7].…”
