Sammanfattning
The utilization of Jerusalem artichoke in a biorefinery context was not investigated so far. Therefore the aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of this plant as feedstock for production of bioethanol, protein and inulin. We investigated the biomass productivity and chemical composition of 11 different clones, harvested on three occasions during the fall and early winter of 2011. The results obtained showed that cellulose production per hectare was at least double compared to corn stover, rice straw, sugarcane bagasse and wheat straw, showing high bioethanol production potential of Jerusalem artichoke. Although not high (in total
