Willow Gains Territory
A large area near Ringkøbing Fjord will soon be covered by an unbroken expanse of energy willow. One of the objectives is to investigate the practical aspects of growing willow.

Benefits of Short Rotation Coppice Willow
Short Rotation Coppice (SRC) willow is grown as a high biomass energy crop across the UK that can remain viable for between 25 and 30 years and can be harvested every two to three years, writes TheBioenergySite senior editor Chris Harris.

Homegrown Energy a Big Win for Jobs
Next-generation biofuels could create over 18,000 jobs, displace nearly 15 per cent of Gasoline consumed in the DC metro area, and reduce millions of pounds of nutrient runoff into the Chesapeake Bay

New Opportunity for South American Tree Farms
A new report from RISI, South American Tree Farm Update, shows in detail how the convergence of the timberland, bioenergy, and carbon markets is creating a flood of new investment opportunities in South America's plantation forest industry.

Miscanthus: Better Southeast Biofuel Crop
When it comes to growing crops to make into biofuels, the talk usually centers on corn or switchgrass. But in the Southeast, the ornamental grass Miscanthus may outgrow them both, writes Stephanie Schupska from the University of Georgia.

Bioenergy Crops Likely to be More Invasive
Whilst there is interest in bioenergy as a renewable alternative to fossil fuels, there is also concern about its environmental impact. A recent study demonstrates that potential bioenergy crops in Hawaii are two to four times more likely to be invasive...
