Soil Regeneration

With a wide range of potential feedstocks, E100 production offers a ready market for an increased diversification and rotation of crops. As any crop will require a different mix of nutrients, soil depletion can be limited or even fully negated.*

By rotating crops of various root depths and nutrient requirements, increased organic matter can be retained within the soil and complementary crop relationships may be fostered. Less than half of the root system of fodder beets is harvested -- they rest remains underground to feed earthworms and fungi, which then frees up phosphorus and potassium for subsequent crops. Further potential exists to reuse byproducts of E100 production to lessen dependencies on chemical inputs.*
