A look at grass as a dedicated energy crop for biogas

The British Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has released an interesting report on the potential of using common rye grass as a dedicated energy crop for the production of biogas. We report on it here, because the results offer clues for a future scenario of large-scale grass-based biogas production in the tropics, where biomass productivities are considerably higher. Below, we make a very rudimentary comparison based on the results of the DTI study.
