Clariant has successfully tested a system designed to convert miscanthus biomass into ethanol. The company's GRACE 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 (sunliquid technology) project.
