Cup Plant Outperforms Silage Maize as a Sustainable Bioenergy Crop
2025-10-02
The cup plant (Silphium perfoliatum) offers an ecologically advantageous alternative to silage maize for bioenergy production. This is the conclusion of a multi-year comparative study conducted by researchers at the University of Bayreuth. Their findings have now been published in the journal GCB Bioenergy.https://www.uni-bayreuth.de/en/press-release/cup-plant-bioenergy
