Boosting biomass for bioenergy

摘要

A total of $12.6 M was granted to ten bioenergy- and biomass-related projects, selected through the DOE- USDA Plant Feedstock Genomics programme, in 2014. Some projects are concerning the potential of some plants, including sorghum, poplar, and switchgrass, along with cellulosic ethanol feedstock as sources of bioenergy. Ceres Inc is currently working to improve its commercial development with product lines and development programmes for high biomass sorghum, miscanthus, sweet sorghum, and switchgrass.
