Growth ofMiscanthusas a biofuel crop need not exacerbate ‘food vs fuel’ conflicts. HarvestedMiscanthusis currently used as a biomass fuel for direct combustion at scales from domestic to industrial, but it can also be used in the production of ‘cellulosic ethanol’ and as a feedstock for anaerobic digesters. The decision to growMiscanthusas a bioenergy crop depends on economic viability. Current work on developing seed‐based hybrids propagated by novel agronomies will reduce the cost and speed up establishment. The main motivation for the work on developingMiscanthusas a crop was to use it to produce energy, displacing fossil carbon fuels and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In comparison to arable land used for cereals, where soil organic carbon (SOC) levels will fall every year, SOC underMiscanthusplantations on arable lands will generally rise in the 0–30 cm layer to a level that is similar to grasslands.
