The present study focuses on sustainable utilization of greywater in short-rotation energy plantation - Eucalyptus hybrid, Populus deltoides, Salix alba and Melia azedarach. The dry matter produced by wastewater plots was 143%, 54%, 274% and 321% higher for Eucalyptus hybrid, Populus deltoides, Salix alba and Melia azedarach respectively, than the same plants in control plot. The calorific value of samples ranged from 4037 to 5190 Kcal kg-1 in greywater plots, and 3460 to 4469 Kcal kg-1 in control plots. The carbondioxide mitigation potential was 19, 13, 11 and 29 t ha-1 higher for E. hybrid, P. deltoides, S. alba and M. azedarach trees respectively, under wastewater irrigation.
