Crop residue in the North Central Region of the USA can be a big source of biomass for bio-based industries. A study looked at how crop residue yield changes from year to year, and how it's affected by temperature and rainfall during the growing season. They found that some areas have more stable crop residue potential, with less variation in temperature and rainfall. The variability in crop residue yield is linked to the variability in temperature and rainfall. This shows that climate changes can impact how much crop residue can be used for bioenergy, and should be considered when planning for sustainable bioenergy production.
