本研究は、ポーランドの自然生息地から収集した8種のスゲ属の地上部バイオマスのエネルギー可能性を評価した。化学成分（セルロース、リグニンなど）と正味・総発熱量を分析し、種間の有意差を確認。ほとんどの種は木材バイオマスと同等のエネルギー特性を示したが、Carex ripariaは灰分が多く発熱量が低かった。結論として、特定のスゲ種は地域分散型バイオマスエネルギーシステムにおいて有用な再生可能資源となり得る。
English
This study evaluated the energy potential of aboveground biomass from eight sedge species collected in Poland. Chemical composition and calorific values were analyzed, revealing significant interspecific variation. Most species showed favorable energy properties comparable to woody biomass, while Carex riparia had high ash content and lower calorific values. The findings suggest selected Carex species could be valuable renewable feedstocks for local decentralized biomass energy systems.

📄 Abstract（原文）
The increasing demand for energy, the finite nature of fossil fuel resources, and the necessity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions have intensified research on renewable energy sources of plant origin. Among potential energy feedstocks, herbaceous biomass has attracted growing interest due to its high productivity, rapid growth, and widespread occurrence. The aim of this study was to evaluate the energy potential of select sedge species (Carex spp.) commonly occurring in Poland as an alternative to fossil fuels. Aboveground biomass of eight sedge species was collected from natural habitats located in the Warta River valley. Cellulose, lignin, holocellulose, hemicellulose, and ash content in the biomass was determined. In addition, key energy parameters, namely net calorific value and gross calorific value, were analyzed. Differences among species were assessed using one-way analysis of variance, while similarities were explored using hierarchical clustering methods. The results revealed significant interspecific variation in both chemical composition and energy properties. Most analyzed sedge species had favorable lignocellulosic composition and energy parameters comparable to those of woody biomass, particularly willow and poplar. In contrast, Carex riparia was distinguished by a high ash content and lower calorific values, limiting its suitability for energy applications. Overall, the findings indicate that select Carex species may represent a valuable renewable feedstock for energy production, especially in the context of local and decentralized biomass-based energy systems.
