Abstract:: ... Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) is a perennial grass highly valued as an energy crop resource for the production of bioethanol due to its high carbohydrate content, fast growth, and ability to grow in lands that cannot support crop or food production. In the present study, this biomass was submitted to steam explosion pretreatment in a semi-continuous pre-pilot reactor with the aim of obtaining a p ...

Abstract:: ... Large scale industrial biomass efforts, whether in pursuit of cellulosic bioethanol, or combustion, will require amounts of feedstock in excess of available crop residues, leading to considerations of purpose grown agricultural biomass. This study determines the yields and break-even prices of perennial grass biomass crops in the state of North Dakota using bioeconomic GIS-based simulation modelli ...
