Energy crops are fast-growing crops grown specifically for the production and use of fuel and energy. Generally, they are inexpensive to grow and easy to maintain.
As the demand for renewable energy grows, we are crossing into new boundaries that have unlimited potential for power generation. The recently developed market of purpose grown crops offers new opportunities to the farming community as this traditional market merges with the growth business of renewable energy.
The business of integrating crop farming as a feedstock for power generation requires unique technology, solid commitment for feedstock supply of high energy content crops, competitive cost structure and long-term power purchase agreements at premium rates. Elementa has approached this opportunity in a forward-thinking manner by investing in the development of a proprietary energy crop through a joint venture initiative to fully commercialize a hybrid agricultural product developed from a mature stock known as Millet.
