Culture of Miscanthus is a very ecological and economical:
• Not required any treatment or care of the land
• There will be no annual costs for seeds / rhizomes and process-ing the earth from the second year of the crop
• Miscanthus is a large perennial grass with potential for use inenergy production
• Non-invasive – planted fields land easily reclaimed for corn/soy bean
• High yielding, low/no input
• Excellent for carbon sequestration and soil building
• Yield estimates from 15-25 tons per hectare
• Decreasing the carbon emission - potential income generationthrough green certificates
• Miscanthus grows without fertilizer (during winter all the leavesfall as a natural fertilizer)
• The material collected can be stored easily, without the need to dry
• Harvesting is simple with a combine or balers
Miscanthus Brichete
• The costs of setting up a culture are about 2,400 € /ha.
• Production estimated during 25 years is 450t/DM(20t/DM/ha/year from the third year; in the first year is not har-vested, the second year will be about 12t/DM/ha).
• For 25 years, we have 24 years harvesting costs 24x50= €1,200Harvesting/Collection (at current prices).
• In the second year we can produce 12,5t/DM, in the 3rd to 25thyear we produce up to 20t/DM/ha: 22x20=440t/DM+12,5t/ DM=452,5t/DM.
• Investment in Rhizomes and planting costs 2,400 € /ha; asabove, add €1,200 for 24 years harvesting costs.
• Therefore all costs for one hectare are €3,600: €3,600/452,5t/ DM=7,95 € /t/DM for row material of Miscanthus, if we make bri-quettes, the cost per tonne is ap-prox €20. Additional costs includestorage (130kg/mc shredded ma-terial, 650kg/mc of briquettes), bri-quetting and distribution market.

As fuelideal for use in automated systems for heating
As garden decorationinstead of bark, straw substitute in strawberry crops
Miscanthus can be used instead ofchopped straw and sawdust
for horses and small animals
Miscanthus can be fermented and used as
graded earth for flowers
Is ideal for the manufacture of various
building materialssuch as wall paneling, interior and exterior plaster,tile, insulation boards
