1 General Information and facts
1.1 Plant Biology
Populus or poplar is a genus of flowering plants (family Salicaceae, class Magnoliopsida), which are grown across North America, Europe and Southwest Asia. The deciduous trees grow 15-50 m tall. Populus are grown on Short Rotation Forestry for the use in pulpwood industry and as wood crops for energy purposes.
1.2 Attributes
Once planted, a stand of Populus can be harvested several times. According to the plant density there are several scenarios possible: Harvesting every 2-3 years, harvesting every 4-6 years or harvesting every 10-20 years (Bielefeldt 2008). Different amount of rotations have been reported, which determine the total duration of the plantation. The first year is used for field preparation. Populus is harvested in the wintertime.
1.3 Geography, soil and climate
Populus can be grown in the USA in the regions North East, Costal Pacific North West and inland pacific North West, North Central and Mid-West (Wright 2010). The regions Manitoba, Quebec and Ontario provide the best conditions for populous cultivation in Canada (Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada). Additionally the government of Alberta also provides cultivation tips) Depending on the precipitation irrigation is required, i.e. in arid regions in Oregon (Sartori 2007) or Colorado (Pearson 2010).
2.1 System boundary
The Populus production is modelled until the Populus are harvested and processed to wood chips in the field (field edge) including the upstream chains “fertilizer production” and “pesticide production”. The system under analysis includes:
- plant production from field preparation prior to planting until the last harvest including stool removal
Outside the system boundaries are:
- production, maintenance, service and repair of machines
- nursery of cuttings
2.2 Functional unit
The functional unit is defined as 1 kg of Populus wood chips with a water content of 50% (Pearson 2010) and a LHW of 7,7 MJ/kg. The LHV for the dry weight is 17,7-18,5 MJ/kg (Rödl 2008, Gasol 2009, Jenkins 1998). The dry wood is composed as described in Table 1.
2.3 Geographical frame
The geographical frame for the production of Populus is the USA. Three regions are considered: Pacific North West (data from Oregon, Washington), North East (data from New York, Pennsylvania) and North Central and Midwest (data from Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Tennessee). A mean of the monthly average precipitation and temperature is used.
For the modelled conditions a sufficient irrigation for the cultivation of populous is assumed, so no artificial irrigation is applied. An average soil is assumed.
3 Description of the process “Agricultural production”
3.1 Sowing / Planting
Populus is propagated from cuttings. Therefore, field establishment via cuttings is modelled (10.000 cuttings for a plantation of 16 years; each weight is assumed to be 500g). Cuttings are planted mechanically. The recommended planting depth is 30cm (Pearson 2010).
3.2 Field and Culture Management:
Field operations are modelled according to average Diesel consumption displayed in Table 2.
3.3 Fertilization
Taking into account that fertilization is not applied in all cultivation sites a national yearly average is assumed based on the mean value of the considered publications (111 kg/ha/year Ammonium Nitrate, 18,4 kg/ha).
Beside the use of fertilizers, an N-Input via N-fixation and precipitation (10 kgN/ha*year) is considered (Galloway 2000). The leaves of the Populus remain in the field and are considered for the Nitrogen cycle. The nutrients required are provided by mineral fertilizers.
3.4 Pesticide treatment
Populus plantation requires weed control mainly in the first year. Pesticide treatments are considered for weed control (herbicides). The amount of economical significant pests is little; therefore insecticides are in general not required. Furthermore fungicides are not needed for Populus planting. Besides the chemical weed control, mechanical weed control is considered. Herbicide and Insecticide application is displayed in Table 4.
3.5 Harvesting and Yield
All aerial parts of Populus are harvested. Populus is harvested mechanically. Average yearly yields are taken as an average of several suitable studies in different regions (see Table 5). The result of 12,3 t/ha*year is comparable to the estimation of the USDA of a national average yield of 12,5 t/ha*year (Ruark 2006).
Background system:
Electricity: Electricity is modelled according to the individual country-specific situations. The country-specific modelling is achieved on multiple levels. Firstly, individual energy carrier specific power plants and plants for renewable energy sources are modelled according to the current national electricity grid mix. Modelling the electricity consumption mix includes transmission / distribution losses and the own use by energy producers (own consumption of power plants and "other" own consumption e.g. due to pumped storage hydro power etc.), as well as imported electricity. Secondly, the national emission and efficiency standards of the power plants are modelled as well as the share of electricity plants and combined heat and power plants (CHP). Thirdly, the country-specific energy carrier supply (share of imports and / or domestic supply) including the country-specific energy carrier properties (e.g. element and energy content) are accounted for. Fourthly, the exploration, mining/production, processing and transport processes of the energy carrier supply chains are modelled according to the specific situation of each electricity producing country. The different production and processing techniques (emissions and efficiencies) in the different energy producing countries are considered, e.g. different crude oil production technologies or different flaring rates at the oil platforms.
Thermal energy, process steam: The thermal energy and process steam supply is modelled according to the individual country-specific situation with regard to emission standards and considered energy carriers. The thermal energy and process steam are produced at heat plants. Efficiencies for thermal energy production are by definition 100% in relation to the corresponding energy carrier input. For process steam the efficiency ranges from 85%, 90% to 95%. The energy carriers used for the generation of thermal energy and process steam are modelled according to the specific import situation (see electricity above).
Transports: All relevant and known transport processes are included. Ocean-going and inland ship transport as well as rail, truck and pipeline transport of bulk commodities are considered.
Energy carriers: The energy carriers are modelled according to the specific supply situation (see electricity above).
Refinery products: Diesel fuel, gasoline, technical gases, fuel oils, lubricants and residues such as bitumen are modelled with a parameterised country-specific refinery model. The refinery model represents the current national standard in refining techniques (e.g. emission level, internal energy consumption, etc.) as well as the individual country-specific product output spectrum, which can be quite different from country to country. The supply of crude oil is modelled, again, according to the country-specific situation with the respective properties of the resources.Soil cultivation; stubble cleaning (medium, 67 kW)Sowing; Seeder (67 kW)Fertilising; limeFertilising; liquid manureSoil cultivation; ploughing (medium, 83 kW)Soil cultivation; seed bed preparation (medium, 83 kW)Harvest; Combine harvesting rapeseedPest management; SprayingFertilising; Mineral fertiliserSoil cultivation; ploughing (heavy, 157 kW)Soil cultivation; stubble cleaning (heavy, 138 kW)Popular wood chips for direct combustion or making biomass- to- liquid fuels.Renewables_Populus production table 1.JPGRenewables_Populus production table 2.JPGRenewables_Populus production table 3.JPGRenewables_Populus production table 4.JPGRenewables_Populus production table 5.JPGRenewables_Populus production table 6.JPGLCI resultAttributionalNoneAllocation - market valueAllocation - net calorific valueAllocation - exergetic contentAllocation - massNot applicableForeground system: For the foreground system, no allocation was applied.
Background system: For the combined heat and power production, allocation by exergetic content is applied. For the electricity generation and by-products, e.g. gypsum, allocation by market value is applied due to no common physical properties. Within the refinery allocation by net calorific value and mass is used. For the combined crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production allocation by net calorific value is applied.

The dataset represents the state-of-the-art in view of the referenced functional unit.thinkstepIABP-GaBiIBP-GaBiThe dataset and systems, which are provided with our software and databases for public use into a broad user community, are constantly used, compared, benchmarked, screened, reviewed and results published in various external, professional and third party LCA applications in industry, academia and politics. So user feedback via the online GaBi forum or direct via user information is a standard routine in the maintenance and update process and leads to stable quality and constant control and improvement of data, if knowledge or technology improves or industrial process chains develop or change.GaBi user forumGaBi user communityGaBi bug forumGaBi conformity systemFully compliantFully compliantFully compliantFully compliantFully compliantNot definedUNEP SETAC Life Cycle InitiativeNot definedNot definedNot definedNot definedNot definedNot definedILCD Data Network - Entry-levelNot definedFully compliantFully compliantNot definedFully compliantNot definedthinkstepThe data set represents a cradle to gate inventory. It can be used to characterise the supply chain situation of the respective commodity in a representative manner. Combination with individual unit processes using this commodity enables the generation of user-specific (product) LCAs. The data set does not necessarily fit for any possible specific supply situation - especially if significantly different technology routes exist - but is representative for a common supply chain situation.thinkstepIABP-GaBi2020-01-21T09:28:52.000ILCD format 1.1thinkstepNo official approval by producer or operator2020-01-21T09:28:52.00000.00.001Data set finalised; entirely publishedGaBi databasesthinksteptrueOtherGaBi (source code, database including extension modules and single data sets, documentation) remains property of thinkstep AG. thinkstep AG delivers GaBi licenses comprising data storage medium and manual as ordered by the customer.
