Miscanthus-BioFuel and Products
BioGreens are propagators for the BioFuel program by producing roots for Miscanthus 'Giganteus' producers.
Our Miscanthus is about twice as productive bio-fuel as switch grass. This is due to Miscanthus' longer growing season, greater leaf area, and higher carbon storage per unit of leaf area.
