The Digest’s 2022 Multi-Slide Guide to Next Generation Miscanthus

The overall goal of this project is to evaluate performance of new miscanthus varieties and improved sustainability within the overall miscanthus biomass supply chain.

Specifically, to identify energy crop production that is dependable, high-yielding, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable. Also, provide empirical data on yieldsand environmental effectsof bioenergy crops associated with different geographic locations, soil types and management practices that is gathered through field experimentation. Finally, enable industry to enhance energy crop production systemsthat will lead to increased biomass supply at decreased cost to conversion developers of advanced biofuels and coproducts.
