| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Globally, the research regarding the renewable energy resources, for example Miscanthus × giganteus, have increased significantly. Miscanthus × giganteus has the high potential for a biomass energy crop, because of high biomass yield with low annual energy requirements. In addition, Miscanthus × giganteus can growth under severe soil condition such as dilapidated land or reclaimed mine land. Our research revealed that carbon sequestration rates of Miscanthus × giganteus was 1.96 Mg-C ha-1 year-1 over the 6 years of this research trial. It was estimated the potential of bioenergy production thought Miscanthus × giganteus cultivation in decontaminated farmlands in Fukushima, Japan. The key findings are outlined below: (1) Miscanthus × giganteus can be the new insight for agricultural production from decontaminated farmlands, (2) due to the high carbon sequestration under Miscanthus × giganteus cultivation, the fertility of decontaminated farmlands can be improved.
