New Energy Farms Open Day

NEF are holding a number of Open Days in 2024 to showcase the TEMPEC project,

Technologies to Enhance the Multiplication and Propagation of Energy Crops, which is part of the UK Governments’ Biomass Innovation Programme.

The Project is exploring the yield potential of a range of high yielding energy grasses, which include Miscanthus and other Energycanes, and demonstrating new systems to plant these crops based on NEF’s synthetic seed technology (CEEDS).
These Open Days are the first opportunity for the biomass industry to view these exciting new studies which include

• Demonstration plots of new varieties of Miscanthus and other potentially exciting Energycanes for the UK.
• NEF synthetic seeds (CEEDS ) and planters for establishing these crops.
• Work on the restoration of wetlands (Paludiculture) and contaminated land using high biomass crops
• An impressive range of end uses for biomass, some of which are well known, but also some exciting new opportunities.

The Open Days will be of interest to farmers, biomass processers, end users of biomass feedstock and anyone with an interest in low carbon initiatives.
On the day you will learn about the benefits of high biomass grasses and their role in mitigating climate change, new technologies developed in the TEMPEC project, plus the new market opportunities and the financial benefits of growing these versatile regenerative agricultural crops.
