Here's a fuel being grown from the ground up, literally. It's a very new fuel feed stock that is being grown here. You may not have heard of it before but Miscanthus grass is a crop with a lot of potential.
John Malacki is growing Miscanthus on his farm near Drumbo, Ontario in anticipation of it's use as a fuel for producing electricity. You'll see how this crop is grown and farmed and why it's a next generation biomass farm.
In the largest field trial of its kind in the United States, researchers have determined that the giant perennial grass Miscanthus x giganteus out performs current biofuels sources - by a lot. Using Miscanthus as a feedstock for ethanol production in the U.S. could significantly reduce the acreage dedicated to biofuels while meeting U.S. government biofuels production goals, the researchers report.
Will Canada be ready for this new opportunity?
