That's the spirit-agave plant outperforms sugar and corn in biofuels study

摘要

The agave plant, traditionally used to make tequila, could also be used to make biofuels. Found in semi-arid Australia, the plant could become an environmentally friendly solution to Australia's transport fuel shortage. A team of researchers at the University of Sydney, University of Exeter and University of Adelaide have been carrying out research into the plant. The plant could also help produce ethanol for hand sanitiser.
