Project Goals
MISCOMAR+ will extend the evidence-base for Miscanthus as a leading perennial bioenergy crop for Marginal, Contaminated, and industrially damaged Land (MaCL) using interdisciplinary academic and industrial expertise, with novel Miscanthus hybrids bred for climate change resilience
Project Objectives
The challenge-led MISCOMAR+ will extend the evidence-base for Miscanthus as a leading perennial bioenergy crop for Marginal, Contaminated and industrially damaged Lands (MaCL) using interdisciplinary academic and industrial expertise with novel Miscanthus hybrids bred for climate change resilience.
Results
MISCOMAR+ will build knowledge of Miscanthus optimization on MaCL and on its subsequent conversion options. The practical results will help commercial partners expand their business opportunities moving from TRL 3-4 to TRL 5-8.
