EiFEL-Silphie - Establishment of an innovative fiber and energy production in agriculture with the “cup plant”
A two-stage biorefinery of the fiber plant Silphium perfoliatum (silphie for short) offers a promising solution to give existing agriculturally operated biogas plants in Rhineland-Palatinate a perspective after the end of the 20-year EEG subsidy of the German renewable energy act.
On the one hand, this requires the conversion of farms to the cultivation of silphie and, on the other hand, the conversion or expansion of existing biogas plants. In addition to the products previously produced in the biogas process, such as electricity, heat and plant nutrients (fermentation substrate), high-quality plant fibers are also obtained for the paper and pulp industry.
The Silphie causes a change from resource-intensive annual plant cultures to an easy-care, deep-rooted, perennial crop with enormous ecological and agro-economic advantages. Through their cultivation, sustainable, bio-based and functional plant fibers are obtained all year round, which can replace raw material imports in this area. The Silphie fiber can be obtained in a comparatively climate-friendly manner and without the use of chemicals and used for paper and packaging materials.
Results and the Final report will be found here, as soon as the project is completed.
