Study of the energy flow and Global Warming Potential (GWP) of alfalfa and maize silage production with different water supply sources (a case study: Qazvin Plain) by Ehsan Khodarezaie, Korous Khoshbakht, Hadi Veisi, Mohammad Reza Nazari

“…These values were 5533.3 kg CO2-eq ha−1 and 4947.6 kg CO2-eq ha−1 for maize silage and alfalfa in the canal water irrigation systems, respectively. Electricity and direct emission showed the highest share of total energy consumption and GHG emission.Conclusion: Generally, our results showed that energy consumption and GWP were lower in the canal irrigation systems than well irrigation systems mainly as a result of electricity used for water pumping in well irrigation operations. …”
