Study: Energy sorghum may combine best of annual, perennial bioenergy crops

Green Car Congress

Now, a study by researchers at the US Department of Energy (DOE) Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bioproducts Innovation (CABBI) has found that energy sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor ) behaves more like miscanthus in the way it efficiently captures light and uses water to produce abundant biomass. Energy sorghum falls somewhere in between.

Fermentation also produces a high-concentration (99%) gaseous CO 2 stream consisting only of CO 2 , water and small amounts of organic and sulfur compounds. A US Department of Energy supported project is capturing and storing around 1 Mt per year of CO 2 from an Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM) plant in Illinois.
