.. all well good; but i've read (somewhere) that
Butanol is greatly superior to ethanol as a fuel in IC
engines; that it is more eco-friendly; that it can be
produced from biomass, but the process is somewhat
more difficult than ethanol production .. anyone into
this area of investigation?

having read this article, i seem to be missing some of the math...
this miscanthus is a rhizome, correct? and like other rhizomes (i.e.
strawberries) there is a good sized chunk of sugars and other carbon based
items stored in the root/stem system, also correct? so that would imply that
it STORES

I wonder about the invasiveness of miscanthus.
Other varieties of Miscanthus have been grown successfully in Indiana,
Michigan and Ohio. However, the giant Miscanthus being grown by the
Illinois researchers has the greatest potential as a fuel source because of
its high yields and because

also production per hector is possible which can be easily
extracted using alkali treatment or Excellent mushroom can be

Hello Doug
Presumably they could be used for celulose to alcohol processes.
More like biomass energy I think, and Fischer-Tropsch fuel:

I think that your friend is probably talking about
Switchgrass. This is a native prairie grass (in the
Midwestern US amp; parts of Canada) that can be used
as an energy crop. It has many ecological advantages
over crops like corn amp; soybeans. It requires
little (or no) pesticide/herbicide
Hello Beth
Oh, switchgrass. Clever you, sweet grass had me puzzled.
Blaird, there's been quite a lot of discussion of switchgrass here.
Do an archive search for switchgrass:

Hello everyone and good AM.
I have been told that sweet grass is used for making pellets to burn in a
stove. I have also been told that a 1 acre field will supply enough heat for
one average size house.
Does anyone know of or has anyone heard of this??
Where can one by the pelletizer?
