Globally fossil fuel consumption has put a major threat to sustainability. Adoption of renewable energy as a substitute will promote sustainable ways of energy usage in the future. One such best option is the use of biomass as a resource for energy production which can replace the solid fuels of coal and firewood, liquid fuels of petrol and diesel and gaseous fuels of natural gas. Among the biomass sources, lignocellulosic forage species is a promising feedstock to tap energy. In the recent years, the unexploited potential of forage is researched in the biofuel production perspective and the promising ways and feedstock are being found. The forage species of switch grass, miscanthus, cumbu napier, reed canary grass and buffalo grass are extensively researched and the possible energy conversion routes and suitability for deriving energy are discussed in this article. |
