REPREVE Renewables, LLC, a leader in biomass energy solutions, will host its second annual Freedom™ Giant Miscanthus Field Day just in time for the spring planting season. With the exclusive license to commercialize Freedom giant miscanthus, an energy crop that out-produces other biomass sources, the Company will provide live field demonstrations and presentations by industry experts to growers, landowners and end-users. Freedom Field Day will be held at REPREVE Renewables’ farm operations in Soperton, GA on January 11th, 2012.

REPREVE Renewables is focused on bringing commercial-scale giant miscanthus production to reality. The Freedom Field Day will highlight these efforts. Attendees will learn first-hand what REPREVE Renewables has been doing in the advancement of energy crop plantings. Experts will be presenting information on Freedom giant miscanthus, the overall market for the crop, best practices for growing, harvest methods and more.
