Clariant has successfully tested a system designed to convert miscanthus biomass into ethanol. The company's sunliquid technology was used to complete the process, aiming to enable the use of miscanthus as a sustainable feedstock – the crop can be cultivated on marginal, contaminated and abandoned land. The tests were conducted using funding from the GRowing Advanced industrial Crops on marginal land for biorEfineries (GRACE) project.
