A sensitivity analysis of the above factors showed that the potential GHG savings could decrease from the initially projected 85% to as low as 70%. yr, biomass loss, field emissions, and incomplete combustion were considered in the model.However, these results changed when reduced biomass yield of 24 ton/ha In comparison with a coal system, the combustion of only pellets to generate 8,300 GWh of electricity can reduce global warming impacts by 7.9 million tons of CO 2-eq, which is equivalent to an 85% reduction in GHG emissions.

yr, 4.8 million tons of pellets can be produced annually.

The calculated fossil energy ratio of the pellets was 5.8, indicating that the production of pellets for fuel is energetically feasible. Based on equivalent energy content, 1.12 tons of pellets can substitute one ton of coal. The research models the utilization of 100 thousand hectares of under-utilized marginal land in Flores (Indonesia) for biomass sorghum cultivation. The current study makes use of life cycle assessment to evaluate the potential greenhouse gas (GHG) savings in coal electricity generation by 5% co-firing with sorghum pellets.
