extractCropResidues2ndBE

Extracts crop residues available for 2nd generation bioenergy from a MAgPIE GDX file at ISO country level. Applies soil cover constraints (minimum 30% soil cover retained, Lutz et al. 2019) and a collection fraction to estimate sustainably harvestable residue biomass, converted to energy (PJ).

Usage

extractCropResidues2ndBE(
  gdx,
  file = NULL,
  collectionFraction = 0.25,
  minDensityForExtraction = 0.1
)

Arguments

gdx: GDX file
file: a file name the output should be written to using write.magpie
collectionFraction: fraction of available residues that can be physically collected (default: 0.25)
minDensityForExtraction: minimum residue density (tDM/ha) below which extraction is not economic (default: 0.1)

Value

MAgPIE object with crop residue potential for 2nd gen bioenergy at ISO level in PJ. Dimension 1: ISO country, Dimension 2: year, Dimension 3: residue types (res_cereals, res_fibrous, res_nonfibrous)
