Pelletizing Switchgrass  



アップロード日: 2010/01/29
The burning of switchgrass with coal as a renewable fuel to create energy is taking another huge step forward in Kentucky this winter. A research project from the University of Kentucky involving switchgrass, a native warm season perennial, is in the third year of a four-year study. This season's crop is by far the best following consecutive drought years and what they are doing with this year's harvest of switchgrass is bringing the goal of the project closer to reality.



Growing A Truly Renewable Fuel: Miscanthus  



アップロード日: 2011/09/11
Here's a fuel being grown from the ground up, literally. It's a very new fuel feed stock that is being grown here. You may not have heard of it before but Miscanthus grass is a crop with a lot of potential.

John Malacki is growing Miscanthus on his farm near Drumbo, Ontario in anticipation of it's use as a fuel for producing electricity. How this crop is grown and farmed. It's a next generation biomass farm.

In the largest field trial of its kind in the United States, researchers have determined that the giant perennial grass Miscanthus x giganteus outperforms current biofuels sources - by a lot. Using Miscanthus as a feedstock for ethanol production in the U.S. could significantly reduce the acreage dedicated to biofuels while meeting U.S. government biofuels production goals, the researchers report.
