Nile Fiber™ is truly a remarkable plant. It is a perennial grass that grows so vigorously it can be harvested annually. When grown as a crop it drastically reduces soil erosion compared to annual crops, because annual plowing and seeding are not necessary. Nile Fiber™ is a fast growing grass that proliferates during the warm seasons of the year. During colder months it becomes dormant and in this state it is able to survive temperatures well below freezing. It also returns essential nutrients to the soil.

Nile Fiber™ offers many environmental benefits. First and foremost, its use for pulp, paper and building materials will reduce the threat to ancient indigenous forests, thus preserving some of the most valuable and unique treasures of the world. Secondly, it appears that this plant is resistant to pests and diseases, and requires little or no fertilizer. Therefore, use of pesticides, herbicides and large amounts of chemical fertilizer is considerably reduced, along with the associated environmental hazards.

Finally, due to its very rapid growth (rates of 4-6 inches per day are common in the growing season), Nile Fiber™ is one of the most efficient plants available for removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and "fixing" it into plant tissue, above and below ground. This process is known as carbon sequestration, and it is fundamental to the mitigation of global climate change currently induced by excessive combustion of fossil fuels.
