OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Miscanthus is a promising feedstock for producing platform chemicals such as 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). Effective implementation of this process creates hope for the development of biorefineries.
Amid predictions of climate change driving up temperatures and causing more extreme heat events, a new study led in part by University of Maryland researchers has found that growing one perrenial grass could cut warming there by 1 degree Celsius.
One important measure to mitigate climate change is to emit less greenhouse gas. The transport sector in particular can make a significant contribution here, for example by replacing gasoline derived from fossil petroleum with bioethanol made from renewable raw materials, like Miscanthus.
World temperatures are rising because of human activity, and climate change now threatens every aspect of human life.
Left unchecked, humans and nature will experience catastrophic warming, with worsening droughts, rising sea levels and mass extinction of species.
The world faces a huge challenge, but there are potential solutions.
Researchers from the Faculty of Agriculture (Zagreb) have conducted a comprehensive study of the impact of miscanthus cultivation on carbon sequestration. The most important key message is that between 1.2-5.5% of total annual Croatian GHG emissions from the Agriculture sector could be annually removed from the atmosphere if 5-15% of currently abandoned agricultural land would be converted to Miscanthus x giganteus cultivation.
Researchers from Germany, UK, Poland and Chine published their review of Miscanthus farming implementation, with the special attention on agro-practices, expenses & profit, and labor needs.
Zagreb, July 31, 2020 – Bio Eco Energy Company d.o.o. (BEECO), a sustainable and innovative Croatian agricultural company, specialized in propagation and distribution of Miscanthus Giganteus, a dedicated biomass crop, today announced that the majority of its shares were acquired by International Group of Companies “NIAR” (NIAR).
We are happy to announce that, despite the COVID-19 pandemic and related quarantine restrictions, we’ve managed to harvest rhizomes from our Miscanthus giganteus nursery plantations.
We recently informed you how we have successfully completed biomass harvesting of our miscanthus fields. Shortly after, a portion of that biomass successfully found its’ users – and they are thrilled. Therefore, we are bringing you a short video where you can see the first media clips from the user’s yards and stables.
