Miscanthus – a Promising Energy Crop for Industrial Processing
https://doi.org/10.18412/1816-0395-2021-3-66-71
Abstract
The article presents the results of research on the development of methods for processing energy crops – Miscanthus into industrial products with high added value: paper, ethanol. Data on crop yield and the quality of the resulting cellulose-containing raw materials are presented. In field experiments, the possibility of effective cultivation of perennial Miscanthus plantations in the continental regions of Russia was established. The favorable ecological impact of Miscanthus planting on the agricultural landscape was revealed.
