Miscanthus

Miscanthus is a tall, perennial grass native to Asia, often used as a bioenergy crop. It grows quickly and produces large amounts of biomass—biological material like stalks and leaves—which can be converted into renewable energy sources such as biofuels and electricity. Because it requires minimal fertilizers, water, and maintenance once established, it is considered an environmentally friendly option for sustainable energy production. Miscanthus can also improve soil health and sequester carbon, making it a promising plant for reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
