The wood burning hype is fueling all sorts of burning issues
Those who have recently covered themselves with firewood for the winter had to dig deeper than usual. Within a year, prices for firewood and pellets have risen in some places by up to 85%, the German Federal Statistical Office announced in September. Consumer prices rose by an average of 7.9% over the same period. Pellets …

Study finds: A perrenial grass could mitigate climate change in Midwest
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.
Giant grass Miscanthus is a bioethanol source with negative CO2 balance
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.
What is climate change? A really simple guide
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. What is climate change? Climate is …
Sequestration potential of energy crop Miscanthus x giganteus cultivated in continental part of Croatia
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 …
Implementing miscanthus into farming systems: A review of agronomic practices, capital and labour demand
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
