Miscanthus: a circular bioeconomy in action.

VAM AGRO is a Ukraine based, Grower company operated by understanding the importance of Miscanthus Giganteus in both supporting action on climate change and environmental Agriculture.

Supporting work on Climate Change.
The Climate Change Committee in its latest Land Use Report has made supportive statements with regard to biomass.

Bioenergy Crops.
Expanding the growing of energy crops by around 23,000 hectares each year would deliver 2 MtCO2e emissions savings in the land sector and an extra 11 MtCO2e from the harvested biomass (e.g. when used with *CCS)

Added value of Miscanthus:

1. Technologies Based on the Lignocellulosic Biomass of Miscanthus.
2. Pulp production from Biomass of Miscanthus.
3. Pulp obtained by Steam Explosion pre-treatment process.
Technologies for every major pulping, recovery, and power process.
4. Biogas production. One ton of Miscanthus biomass energetically equivalent to 500 m3 natural gas.
5. Pellets from Biomass of Miscanthus and cereal straw. Pellets are made from Biomass of Miscanthus and ground straw of cereals by pressing at high temperature and without adding any additional material.

Ecological Impact of production Miscanthus

Industry First

The first dedicated, independent study into Miscanthus life cycles shows that the above ground biomass grows annually and recycles all the carbon that’s been produced through planting, harvesting and burning the crop for renewable electricity, andat the same time, the underground rhizome and decaying leaf litter fixes and stores net 0.64 tonnes of carbon (2.35 tonnes CO2e) per hectare, each year as it grows.

Carbon Farming For Net Zero

Development of strategic Miscanthus crop area is complimentary to afforestation, rather than competitive against afforestation, as are the ultimate best end-uses. In particular, Miscanthus has the potential to supply substantial feedstocks to deliver 2050 and shorter strategic national carbon/climate objectives.

Headline Numbers

Net Carbon Capture up to 2.35tCO2e/ha/year, equivalent to 0.64tC/ha/year (Lask J, University of Hohenheim)Miscanthus Crop Biomass carbon content 45-60%. (Based on 50%, 10tC/ha/year, equivalent to 37tCO2e/ha/year based on a yield of 20 ODT/ha).

Should Miscanthus be grown as the main farm crop, then it is likely that the fixed costs will see areduction (using your own equipment).

The annual crop rate of a minimum of 20t/ haBy the end of the year, per 100 hectares we receive 2,000 tons of biomass, ready for  processing and pulp production.

Using Steam explosion green technology of transforming Miscanthus biomass we get 50% of Cellulose, 25% Lignin and 25% of Hemicellulose.
