Giant Juncao Grass: A Breakthrough in CO2 removal?

To effectively combat climate change, actively removing carbon from the atmosphere is essential

Researchers at the University of Twente are exploring how Giant Juncao Grass can significantly impact CO₂ removal. With its rapid growth and potential for sustainable biomaterial production, this grass could play a vital role in the global effort to tackle climate change.

To effectively combat climate change, actively removing carbon from the atmosphere is essential. Researchers from the University of Twente’s Climate Centre are testing an innovative and scalable approach at the UT.Fieldlab: cultivating miscanthus, a fast-growing grass that captures CO2 and can be stored underground or used in building materials. This nature-based solution could offer a cost-effective way to reduce atmospheric carbon.
