Alternative biomass feedstocks and innovative cropping systems
More Biomass, Faster - Using Novel Aeroponic Cultivation to Rapidly Multiply Bioenergy Feedstocks
Short Introductive summary
The aim of this work is to demonstrate the potential for using novel soilless cultivation technologies to support rapid upscaling of biomass production, contributing to wider climate goals. In this presentation we highlight the outputs from our two year experimental, technology development project which is underpinned by a holistic interdisciplinary approach assessing plant growth and performance, system optimisation via a bespoke digital twin, environmental and socio-economic challenges and opportunities
