Miscanthus - The Grass is Greener

At Renewable Energy Crops, Europe’s leading developer and producer of Miscanthus (Elephant Grass), we are committed to producing renewable and sustainable energy, and the companies that we supply produce over 50% of the total UK (coal derived) electricity.

What is Miscanthus?

Miscanthus is an ideal energy crop developed specifically for energy production, producing large amounts of biomass efficiently for a range of energy uses (power, heat, liquid fuels) and non-energy end uses (game cover, animal bedding, cat litter or biocomposite).

Within the UK, Renewable Energy Crops (RECrops) has an end-user demand for over 40,000 hectares of Miscanthus and this requirement is continually increasing.
