abstract = {Current global temperature increases resulting from human
activity threaten many ecosystems and societies, and have
led to international and national policy commitments that
aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Bioenergy crops
provide one means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from
energy production and two novel crops that could be used for
this purpose are Sida hermaphrodita (L.) Rusby and Silphium
perfoliatum L. This research examined the existing
scientific literature available on both crops through a
systematic review. The data were collated according to the
agronomy, uses, and environmental benefits of each crop.
Possible challenges were associated with high initial
planting costs, low yields in low rainfall areas, and for
Sida hermaphrodita, vulnerability to Sclerotinia
sclerotiorum. However, under appropriate environmental
conditions, both crops were found to provide large yields
over sustained periods of time with relatively low levels of
management and could be used to produce large energy
surpluses, either through direct combustion or biogas
production. Other potential uses included fodder, fibre, and
pharmaceutical uses. Environmental benefits included the
potential for phytoremediation, and improvements to soil
health, biodiversity, and pollination. The review also
demonstrated that environmental benefits, such as
pollination, soil health, and water quality benefits could
be obtained from the use of Sida hermaphrodita and Silphium
perfoliatum relative to existing bioenergy crops such as
maize, whilst at the same time reducing the greenhouse gas
emissions associated with energy production. Future research
should examine the long-term implications of using Sida
hermaphrodita and Silphium perfoliatum as well as improve
knowledge on how to integrate them successfully within
existing farming systems and supply chains.},
