Climate change mitigation potential and economic evaluation of selected technical adaptation measures and innovations in conventional arable farming in Germany Open
Agriculture accounts for a large proportion of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It is therefore crucial to identify effective and efficient GHG mitigation potentials in agriculture, but also in related upstream sectors. However, prev…

Comparative environmental and economic life cycle assessment of biogas production from perennial wild plant mixtures and maize (<i>Zea mays</i> L.) in southwest Germany Open
Maize silage is the main biogas co‐substrate in Germany, but its use is often questioned due to negative environmental impacts. Perennial wild plant mixtures (WPM) are increasingly considered alternatives, as these extensive systems improv…
