Innovative mechanisation and remote sensing appilcation in energy crops cultivation

Sukladno ciljevima okvira za klimatske i energetske politike do 2030. godine i Europskog zelenog plana do 2050. godine, biomasa je definirana kao važan čimbenik u procesu postizanja nisko ugljične energetske samodostatnosti. Kako bi se povećala efikasnost proizvodnje biomase dobivene uzgojem energetskih kultura, u novije vrijeme je poseban naglasak stavljen na primjenu suvremene mehanizacije koja se može koristiti u žetvi energetskih kultura. Također, daljinska istraživanja se sve više koriste kao alat u uzgoju biomase, ali i tijekom optimizacije cjelokupnog procesa korištenja biomase u procesu proizvodnje energije. Upotrebom uređaja za snimanje područja za uzgoj energetskih kultura, poput satelita i bespilotnih letjelica, omogućuje se prikupljanje i sinkronizacija većeg broja podataka, stvaranje algoritama te mogućnost mapiranja zemljišta čime se olakšava nadzor usjeva kulture koja se uzgaja. Cilj ovog rada je prikazati mogućnost korištenja ratarske mehanizacije u žetvi energetskih kultura i daljinskih istraživanja u procesu proizvodnje biomase.In line with the objectives of the framework for climate and energy policies by 2030. and the European green plan by 2050, biomass has been defined as an important factor in the process of achieving low-carbon energy self-sufficiency. In order to increase the efficiency of production biomass obtained by growing energy crops, in recent times special emphasis has been placed on the application of modern mechanization used in harvesting. Also, the application of remote sensing is increasingly used as a tool in biomass production, but also in optimizing the entire biomass supply process in energy production. The use of imaging devices, such as satellites and drones, enables the collection and synchronization of more data, the creation of algorithms and the ability of land mapping, which facilitates the control of crops grown, resulting in more successful management of the production process. The objective of this paper is to present the possibility of using field mechanization in the harvest of energy crops and remote sensing in the process of biomass production
