      abstract     = {The performance and biomass yield of the perennial energy
                      plant Sida hermaphrodita (hereafter referred to as sida) as
                      a feedstock for biogas and solid fuel was evaluated
                      throughout one entire growing period under agricultural
                      field conditions. The aim was to determine the best time of
                      the sida harvest; to evaluate the maximum biomass output
                      depending on the plant development stage; to determine the
                      energy value in terms of biogas production and solid fuel
                      energy content; and to obtain a biomass comprising the most
                      suitable cell wall composition enabling a better utilisation
                      and upscaling for technical applications. The biomass yield
                      was monitored weekly from April 2014 until February 2015. To
                      determine the best energy use of sida biomass, four
                      utilization scenarios combining solid fuel and biogas
                      applications were evaluated to identify the best energy
                      output. These were: 1.) one harvest for solid fuel only; 2.)
                      one harvest for biogas production only; 3.) one harvest for
                      biogas production, followed by a subsequent harvest of the
                      re-grown biomass for solid fuel; 4.) or two consecutive
                      harvests for biogas production.The results showed highest
                      total dry biomass yields of max. 25 t/ha when harvested in
                      July, whereas the highest dry matter of $70-80\%$ was
                      obtained at the end of the growing period in
                      December/January. The four energy-use scenarios clearly
                      indicated the highest energy recovery for scenario 1.)
                      (solid fuel) of 439 GJ/ha. The options were ranked following
                      the order: scenario 1.) >> 3.) > 4.) >2.). Analysis of the
                      sida ash showed a very high melting point of >1500°C,
                      associated with a net calorific value of 16.5-17.2 MJ/kg
                      indicating its advantage for combustion without any
                      post-treatment after harvesting. Cell wall analysis of the
                      stems showed a steady increase in lignin reaching its
                      plateau in harvest week 16 (July), whereas cellulose in the
                      stems reached a plateau already in sampling week 4 (April).
                      The results highlight Sida as a very promising woody,
                      perennial biomass plant, providing feedstock biomass for
                      flexible and multi-purpose energy applications.},
