CABBI miscanthus harvest

Caption

Miscanthus is harvested from a CABBI facility at Iowa State University. CABBI researchers from ISU and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign found the biofuel mandates of the Renewable Fuels Standard will lead to significant economic and environmental costs without targeted policies and incentives that value the sustainability benefits of perennial bioenergy crops like miscanthus over cheaper options.
