AGgrow Fuel: Renewable Biomass for Energy
AGgrow Tech helps customers turn giant miscanthus biomass into renewable energy. Two of AGgrow Tech’s target markets are liquid biofuels and combustion for electricity and heat.
Why giant miscanthus for energy
- Mature yields can range from 8 to 14 bone dry tons per acre, three times more biomass per acre than a pine plantation.
- More than 2x the achievable ethanol and MMBTU per acre compared to corn.
- Consistent composition: low moisture, highly absorbent, low ash and mineral content.
- A perennial grass: plant once and the stand can last over 20 years, on marginal and under-utilized land.
- Per acre per year, it removes 50% more carbon from the atmosphere and sequesters 94% more carbon in the soil than a pine plantation.
