Miscanthus, often referred to as elephant grass, is a remarkable second-generation biomass crop that has garnered widespread enthusiasm. This comprehensive book offers a thorough examination of this knowledge. Miscanthus, with its towering height of over three meters, resembles bamboo and boasts an impressive annual yield without the necessity of replanting or applying fertilizers. Its rapid growth, low mineral content, and high biomass yield have made it a favored choice as a biofuel, surpassing other alternatives such as switchgrass. With over two decades of research evidence supporting its promotion as a second-generation biomass crop, the author delves into field measurements of yields, as well as the crop's physiology and the factors contributing to its remarkable productivity while requiring minimal inputs for cultivation. Furthermore, the book explores how Miscanthus, as a vital biofuel crop, can play a significant role in mitigating climate change. It sheds light on the strategies for promoting the adoption of Miscanthus production, particularly in Europe and North America.
This book is of paramount importance for students enrolled in courses related to Environmental Science and Engineering, Climate Change Impacts, Renewable Energy, and Energy Conservation. It will also be of great interest to researchers specializing in second-generation biomass crops, as well as policy developers engaged in biofuel production and utilization. By providing a comprehensive and insightful exploration of Miscanthus, this book serves as a valuable resource for advancing our understanding and utilization of this remarkable crop in the pursuit of sustainable energy solutions.
