Phytotechnology with Biomass Production
should concentrate on looking into the full Miscanthus chain starting from
production while ensuring sustainable land management, through ensuring
optimal conditions for storing biomass, with development of proper technology for biomass processing into fibrous materials, pulp, and paper when
Miscanthus has been harvested from marginal or contaminated soils. Some of
the genetic techniques discussed above promise to enhance sustainable land
management, allowing larger production of renewable energy and biomaterial without increasing land requirements. This is an essential component of a
transition to a fully sustainable societal energy (and Miscanthus) cycle.
