Biomass Connect academics and collaborators have just published a review paper in the Journal of Global Change Biology Bioenergy, on the benefits, challenges and trade-offs of upscaling Miscanthus production in the UK.
Covering topics such as land areas available, environmental impacts and barriers to uptake, the paper provides interested stakeholders with a state-of-the-art summary based on robust peer-reviewed data. It includes:
- Miscanthus yield predictions for the different areas of the UK.
- The ecosystem services impacts that need to be considered.
- A discussion of barriers and incentives from a farmer’s perspective.

A handy factsheet has also been produced along with the article.
