This eight page full colour brochure covers the sustainable and profitable use of waste resources and farmland in Europe for the production of biofuels. The purpose of this brochure, available in pdf format (1584 Kb), is explained in the introductory paragraphs as follows:

"The idea of growing willows (Salix spp) for the production of biofuels was introduced in Sweden already 25 years ago. Today willows are commercially cultivated on a reasonable scale and the Swedish concept is now being introduced in other European Countries.

Willows, as all grenn plants, require nutrients and water to grow. Varoius municipal waste products that are rich in nutrients and/or water, such as wastewater, sewage sludge, organic residuals, ashes and leachate from sanitary landfills, could partly or to a full extent replace the need of conventional fertilisation and enhance growth.

In this leaflet you will learn more about the Swedish concept of growing willows for energy purposeand the combined treatment and recovery of municipal wastewater or sludge in willow plantations".
