The new technology of flax and hemp fibre extraction is based ondecorticator processing of raw flax and hemp stalks and cleaning unit.
A decorticator equipped with hardened elements breaking the stemperforms extraction of fibre from raw hemp straw.
The fibre produced by the decorticator requires additional cleaning toremove the shives.
The cleaning process is conducted in preliminary cleaning machine,
equipped with sieves and a drum with vertical bars that separate theremains of wood.
The system could be applied as well in case of other bast plantsprocessing: kenaf, jute and ramie.

A new decorticating technology allows for significant simplification of
a processing method used so far, improvement of productioneconomics through reduction of energy and labour consumptionduring extraction of fibre. The processing of hemp and flax straw
proposed here eliminates labour consuming, costly and depending onweather conditions natural retting processes and additional drying ofstraw before processing (maximum moisture content in the straw in
the new technology 18%).

Ecological disinfection mats made in flax and
hemp fibres
Eco-friendly solutionThe technology of producing disinfection mats
based on cellulosic natural fibres allows for easy
utilization of used out products by natural
biodegradation processes and very much lowers the
costs of such utilization. The mats made of natural
bast fibres e.g. flax, hemp, jute fibres are, contrary
to the mats made of man made fibres, completely
biodegradable and thus eco-friendly.

The mats , basen on nonwoven , developed at the Institute of Natural Fibres &Medicinal Plants in Poznan, are designed for protection zones that prevent
spreading infectious diseases such as e.g. avian flu.They are recommended for use at: passages in the area of chicken farms, cowshed, pigsties, dairies, fodder plants, slaughter-house, food processing plants, apiaries, livestock collection points, mushroom-growing cellars, border crossings.

In Poland, the Ministry of Economy is working on a document Energy Policyfor Poland till 2030 . The document is to define in details the strategic
directions of action in the area of energy policy of the state. It is foreseen that
estimated potential of domestic renewable energy resources in agriculture isabout 120 PJ in 10 year horizon.
According to the strategic provisions related to utilization of renewable energy
resources, the main emphasis will be on energy obtained from industrialplants and biogas in farm biogas plants . The share of renewableenergy in energy balance of the state is gradually growing: from 1.5%
in 2001 up to 7.5% in 2010 . It is estimated that the use of renewable energyin 2020 will reach 14% and 20% in 2030 .

The basic advantage of the biomass as the raw material for energy is thesignificant decrease of the CO 2 emission to the atmosphere in comparison
with the coal burning parameters.
The steam of the CO 2 emitted during the biomass burning is absorbed inthe plant photosynthesis and it utilized for their growth.

Hemp is a phytosanitary crop, which enables hemp introduction to each cropratation, practically after almost every other type of crop.
Industrial hemp is observed as so called plastic crop:
adapts to the new conditions easily,
with significant forms, biological-morphological and economic value diversity
Hemp* Straw yield 12 ton/ha* Fibre yield 2,5 - 3 ton/ha
It is estimated that cultivation of 1 ha of hemp absorbs about
2,5 tons of CO2 whitch contributes
significantly to lessening of the greenhouse effect.

In Poland up to 1990, the utilizationof shives to the production of theparticleboards was popular.
Due to the transformation of theeconomy, the and technological
changes- the shives were almost notapplied to the production of the
boards.Currently the shives are the waste
products.

The shives in a loose form are a dangerous material, which can explode during theburning process, due to the presence of dust.
Unlike wooden chips, shives do not have to be dried before briquette production, whichaffects positively the economic aspects of their utilisation.

The processors of flax and hemp straw could obtain additional income, byselling the heating briquettes, produced on the base of flax and hemp shives,
instead of paying for the by-products storage.
According to the European Union regulations, the description of the plannedutilization of by-products from flax and hemp straw processing, is the
necessary condition to apply for the direct subventions.

Energetic value of rapeseed is also high (17.6 MJ/kg). Thus, the conclusion is thatenergy efficiency of plants is mainly affected by the level of yield rather than bythe heat of combustion.
The very high energy efficiency is a result of high heat of combustion of hempwhich is 18.8 MJ/kg and high yield of dry matter per hectare.
Consequently, the profitability of crops cultivated for biomass depends on the
selection of proper plant species which should be characterized by high andstable yields of dry matter and relatively easy and low energy consumingagronomic treatments applied.
