Perennial grasses as sustainable bioenergy crops for marginal lands
To minimize energy dependence on foreign petroleum imports and reduce fossil fuel consumption, the US Government has mandated the annual use of 136 billion liters of biofuels by 2022. Of the 136 billion liters, 61 billion liters should be produced from cellulosic biofuels. This will likely lead to …
