One of the major challenges the world faces is how to provide sustainable sources of energy that meet societal needs as the population continues to grow. The Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bioproducts Innovation (CABBI), with funding from the Department of Energy, will develop efficient ways to grow bioenergy crops, transform biomass into valuable chemicals, and market the resulting biofuels and other bioproducts.
Research at Iowa State University showed that using advanced planting techniques can triple the amount of biomass produced by this perennial bioenergy crop in its establishment year, improving the plan’s potential to store carbon and its economic viability. […]
