China develops technology to generate electricity from alien grass

Chinese scientists have developed a technology to generate power from English cordgrass, an alien plant that has been blamed for biological invasion.

Experiments show that one kilogram of English cordgrass can produce two cubic meters of flammable gas, which can generate one kilowatt-hour of electricity. If all of its 3.3 million hectares of English cordgrass were processed, China would be able to harvest 50 billion to 75 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity.
