Scientists have found ways to increase the amount of miscanthus biomass for making biofuels. Different types of miscanthus plants have varying levels of disease susceptibility and biomass production. Some types, like Miscanthus × giganteus and Miscanthus sinensis, produce a lot of biomass per hectare. Certain species with high lignin content are better for turning into biofuels using heat, while others with low lignin content are better for biochemical processes. Miscanthus sacchariflorus is good for bioenergy conversion because it has low ash content. Harvesting mature miscanthus in winter is preferred by industries to save money. This research can help improve biofuel production from other similar plants.
