The Biomass Innovation Hub (BIH) is fostering a robust “Field-to-Product Ecosystem,” championing profitable perennials for the bioeconomy. Crops like miscanthus, switchgrass, sorghum, and energycane have growing markets, and may be suitable supplements to corn and soybean in many fields.

Based at the University of Illinois and partnered with industry, BIH leverages interdisciplinary resources to support agricultural workforce development and product innovation. This work bridges the gap between research and commercialization, building collaborations that move biomass products from idea to market.
