“…(8) Influence of agrotechnical and agroecological conditions on biomass quality. By the selection of a proper combination of time and method of harvest, biomass quality may be affected (Kapustyanchik and Yakimenko, 2020). Early harvest is useful if a crop is to be converted into ethanol in the biorefinery or in biogas.…”

Second-generation biofuel production systems are significantly better than first-generation systems. However, the size of areas in which the energy crops are grown depends on public support, and it decreases if public support is missing. Despite all the environmental and economic benefits, perennial energy crops do not currently play a significant role. It is believed that available land areas will be a basic limiting factor for cultivating biofuel crops in the EU. On the other hand, there is significant untapped potential for bioenergy production in abandoned and marginal land in Southeast Europe. At the same time, perennial energy crops are investments with certain risks. Economically viable production of dedicated energy crops will be difficult to achieve on most lands classified into V-VIII land capability classes. In terms of the risk of farming investments, maize has an advantage over all perennial energy crop systems. We have identified 10 types of risks for successful production of energy crops: (1) Crop water supply; (2) Weed infestation in crops; (3) Risks of frost damages; (4) Crop lodging; (5) Crop diseases and pests; (6) Short harvest periods and variable yields; (7) Economic viability of cultivation on land areas of lower land capability class; (8) Influences of agricultural practices and agro-ecological conditions on biomass quality; (9) Storage of harvested biomass and fire hazard; and (10) economic sanctions, war, and war surroundings. Although the cultivation of perennial energy crops has a perspective, it must be systematically planned and further improved.

The processing of plant biomass into demanded and economically viable products is currently a recognized global trend. Among alternative energy directions, biomass conversion is the most predictable and sustainable carbon resource that can replace fossil fuels. Already today, plant biomass provides almost 25% of the world’s energy supply. This review provides information on the most promising areas of chemical and biotechnological processing of the biomass of such an energy plant as miscanthus. The choice of miscanthus is due to its high yield (up to 40 t/ha of sown area) and high energy yield (140–560 GJ/ha) compared to other plant materials. In addition, miscanthus is able to grow on marginal lands and does not require special agronomic measures, while in the process of its cultivation, the soil is enriched with organic substances and it is cleaned from pollutants. The review reflects the directions of processing of native biomass and pretreated biomass. Miscanthus biomass, in addition to processing into energy resources, can be fractionated and transformed into many high-value products - cellulose, cellulose nitrates, ethylene, hydroxymethylfurfural, furfural, phenols, ethylene glycol, cooking solutions after nitric acid pretreatment of miscanthus biomass can act as lignohumic fertilizers. In addition, on the basis of miscanthus cellulose hydrolysates, it is possible to obtain benign nutrient media for biotechnological transformation into bacterial nanocellulose, for the accumulation and isolation of various microbial enzymes.
