Carbon neutrality in the transport sector is a key challenge for the growing bioeconomy as the share of biofuels has stagnated over the past decade. This can be attributed to basic economics and a lack of a robust market for these technologies. Consequently, more sustainable biomass supply concepts are required that reduce negative impacts on the environment and at the same time promote environmental services for sustainable agricultural cropping systems including erosion prevention, soil fertility improvement, greenhouse gas mitigation, and carbon sequestration. One promising concept is the cultivation of perennial biomass crops such as Miscanthus (Miscanthus Andersson) as biofuel feedstock. In this study, the multiple environmental services provided by Miscanthus are first explored and subsequently monetized. Then the integration of Miscanthus cultivation for biomass production into European agricultural systems is assessed. One hectare of Miscanthus provides society with environmental services to a value of 1,200 to 4,183 € a−1. These services are even more pronounced when cultivation takes place on marginal agricultural land. The integration of Miscanthus into existing agricultural practices aids both conservation and further optimization of socio‐economic welfare and landscape diversification. As these environmental services are more beneficial to the public than the Miscanthus farmers, subsidies are required to close the gap between biofuels and biodiversity that are calculated based on the provision of environmental services. Similar approaches to that developed in this study may be suitable for the implementation of other biomass cropping systems and therefore help foster the transition to a bioeconomy.

通过货币化芒草栽培的环境服务货币化,弥合生物燃料与生物多样性之间的差距

由于生物燃料的份额在过去十年中一直停滞不前,因此交通运输部门的碳中和是生物经济发展面临的主要挑战。这可以归因于基本经济学以及这些技术缺乏强大的市场。因此,需要更加可持续的生物质供应概念,以减少对环境的负面影响,同时促进可持续农业种植系统的环境服务,包括防止侵蚀,改善土壤肥力,减少温室气体和固碳。一个有前途的概念是种植多年生生物量作物,例如芒草Miscanthus Andersson)作为生物燃料原料。在这项研究中,Miscanthus提供了多种环境服务首先进行探索,然后通过获利。然后评估了将芒草栽培用于生物质生产的方法整合到欧洲农业系统中的情况。一公顷的芒草为社会提供了价值1,200至4,183欧元a -1的环境服务。在边际农业用地上进行耕种时,这些服务更加明显。将芒草整合到现有的农业实践中有助于保护和进一步优化社会经济福利和景观多样化。由于这些环境服务比芒草更有益于公众对农民而言,需要补贴以弥合根据提供环境服务而计算出的生物燃料和生物多样性之间的差距。与本研究中开发的方法类似的方法可能适用于其他生物量种植系统的实施,因此有助于促进向生物经济的过渡。
