The Digest’s 2024 Multi-Slide Guide to Next-Generation Feedstocks for the Emerging Bioeconomy

A team of researchers have designed a project to develop productive, cost-effective, and sustainable warm-season perennial bioenergy feedstock production systems on marginal croplands across geographic locations in the Midwest. They have found  that there is limited data availability on field-scale research with high-yielding switchgrass cultivars., And, there is a need to demonstrate ecosystem service benefits of energy-type switchgrass on marginal lands. D.K. Lee of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign led the presentation team at DOE Project Peer Review.
