The project investigates how substituting emission-intensive materials with miscanthus-based construction and insulation products can both reduce emissions and create durable CO<sub>2<\/sub> sinks.<\/p>\n<p>The central research questions are: (i) how carbon uptake and biomass yields of miscanthus vary under different production conditions, (ii) how the resulting building materials can be technically optimized so they are high-performing and recyclable, and (iii) what their overall environmental impact (LCA) and economic viability\/market acceptance (including willingness to pay) look like.<\/p>\n<p>Accordingly, the project\u2019s objectives are to develop and test three prototypes over multiple years\u2014(1) a miscanthus\u2013lime construction material, (2) loose-fill miscanthus insulation, and (3) binder-free miscanthus fibreboards\u2014while improving insulation performance, fire resistance, and recyclability, supported by complementary sustainability and market analyses.<\/p>\n<p>CDR method(s) considered: MisCO<sub>2<\/sub> relies on biogenic CO<sub>2<\/sub> removal through plant growth (miscanthus with up to ~30 t CO<sub>2<\/sub>\/ha\u00b7yr in above-ground biomass, plus additional CO<sub>2<\/sub> binding via humus formation) and on storing the captured carbon in long-lived, circular building products (\u201ccarbon in products\u201d) for decades. Circular and cascading use (repeated reuse instead of incineration\/landfilling) further strengthens long-term storage.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Active and long-term binding of carbon dioxide (CO\u2082) from the atmosphere in construction and insulation materials of miscanthus (Chinese silver grass).\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":6744,"template":"","class_list":["post-6742","consortia","type-consortia","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
