About
Defra Network eTendering Portal awarded a contract to Aberystwyth University (IBERS) for the ERA-NET MISCOMAR+ project, valued at AUD 100,000.
The project aimed to create socio-economic-environmental prospects for marginal lands using the perennial resilient C4 grass Miscanthus.
As a follow-on to MISCOMAR, it involved new trials and valorisation pathways, with five work packages focused on improving Miscanthus biomass production on marginal and/or contaminated land, developing novel valorisation options, and providing holistic estimations of environmental and socioeconomic benefits and impacts.
