Water is essential in conversion of crop to bioenergy. Therefore, it is important to carefully evaluate the impact of bioenergy technology on water source. Life cycle water footprints of biobutanol from wheat straw, corn grain and corn stover are analyzed in this study according to the characteristics of crop growing and climate conditions. The results show that life cycle water footprints of biobutanol from wheat straw, corn grain and corn stover are 271, 108 and 240 L H₂O/MJ biobutanol, respectively. Life cycle water footprints of the crop production stage for wheat straw, corn grain and corn stover are 269.89, 107.84 and 238.95 L H₂O/MJ biobutanol, respectively. Owing to the use of fertilizer in the crop production stage, gray water footprint of wheat straw, corn grain and corn stover accounts for 91.08%, 86.65% and 86.40% of the life cycle water footprint, respectively.
