I just planted this in my yard (got tired of feeding the deer with everything else). Now I have my own “Green Gold!”

The grass in my yard is whatever my neighbors half a mile in all directions have seeded their lawns with. There must be twenty varities. They all grow very quickly for a few days and then stop. If there is a way to program grass growth so some is always in this rapid growth phase there could be a never-ending supply of biomass. That stuff is over and done in a week.

If we are going to use biofuels this is the only way that makes sense. Using corn is idiotic.

In order to be feasible it would need to generate, at a bare minimum, about 10 times as many gallons of ethanol per acre than corn does.

This article has some glaring problems. It does not tell us what kind of fuel Miscanthusell will create. It does not tell us how its production capacity compares with other methods in gallons/acre. It does not tell us the energy cost to grow and produce fuel from this plant. It looks like a program waiting for a government handout to make it work. The woman makes good PR to attract a government subside.

"Miscanthus can gain greater amounts of photosynthetic carbon per unit of leaf area; 2. Miscanthus has a greater leaf area; and 3. Miscanthus has a longer growing season." Which is all well and sounds great, but the ONE datum that is needed and doesn't seem to be here is how much fermentable carbohydrate per acre does it yield relative to switchgrass.

Most likely they ar looking at this grass for ethanol as well as bid-diesel capabilities. This grass may be fairly significant as the biomas is so high.
Looking forward to more research in this area.

From the looks of that picture, I’ll bet Dr. Harton has the same effect on men.
