NRG Energy evaluate conditions for growing switchgrass and high-biomass sorghum as renewable biomass fuels

(30/09/2009)

The U.S. Department of Energy has identified switchgrass as an ideal dedicated energy crop. As a perennial, once established, switchgrass requires little or no tilling and minimal nitrogen fertilizer and other crop inputs. It can grow over nine feet high with deep roots that can sequester carbon in the root biomass instead of releasing it into the atmosphere.
