Abstract
The evolution of societies has been historically linked to the production, consumption and, ultimately, availability of energy. The development of more efficient technologies has led to several energy sources' evolution and change over the past centuries. However, those changes, together with a considerable rise of energy consumption, have also brought a threat to ecosystems in the form of several contaminants. In this chapter, a study on the potential use of crops for producing marketable energy is assessed, using the Spanish agriculture sector as study case given its substantial contribution to crop production in the European Union.
