Mendel Biotechnology, Oxford extend Miscanthus parthership
In Ohio, Oxford Resource Partners and Mendel Biotechnology announced their collaborative agreement to develop a pilot project to produce Mendel’s proprietary Miscanthus varieties on land previously reclaimed from mining operations by Oxford. The goal of the project is to demonstrate the feasibility and economic viability of biomass production from dedicated energy crops in eastern Ohio. ”
While Oxford’s focus will always be responsible coal mining, we recognize that utilities in the State of Ohio are committed to including biomass among their fuel sources in the coming years,” said Charles C. Ungurean, President and CEO of Oxford. “Part of our responsibility is to reclaim land that was formerly mined, a program in which we take great pride.”
