Fescue Grass Proves to be Inexpensive and Key Source for Hydrogen

Scientists claim that garden grass could become an inexpensive and clean source for renewable resources. Researchers from UK, including specialists from Cardiff University’s Cardiff Catalysis Institute, have shown that huge amounts of hydrogen can be released from fescue grass using an inexpensive catalyst and sunlight.

Biomass Production from Perennial Grasslands Increases Economic Benefits of CRP Land

The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) was established 30 years ago by the USDA’s Farm Service Agency as part of an initiative to boost habitat for sensitive wildlife species, minimize soil erosion, and enhance the quality of water. Farmers receive rent from the program in exchange for land to be removed from crop production and planted with species that enhance the quality of the environment. The land, as well as its cover crop, would be left untouched for a period of 10 to 15 years.

Scientists Discover Genetic Diversity Enhances Productivity Yields of Switchgrass

Going down in history we find that even before farmers could settle down in the Midwestern United States and plant crops, there existed the root systems of prairie grasses, including strong-stemmed and tall switchgrass species that improved the quality of the soil, thus developing millions of acres of top-quality farmland.

Sustainable Bioenergy Will Assist the UK Towards a Low Carbon Economy

Research from the University of Southampton has been an instrumental part in a new report outlining the significance of bioenergy in assisting the UK towards a low carbon economy. Sponsored by the Energy Technology Institute (ETI), the report by the Government and industry contains the work of Professor Gail Taylor. The research focuses on how bioenergy can provide greenhouse gas savings if the correct crop is planted on suitable land.

Using Organic Manure Instead of Chemical Fertilizer Can Help Decrease Emission of Greenhouse Gases

Approximately 35% of global greenhouse gases (GHGs) come from agriculture. Some argues that human can reverse global worming by sequestering several hundred billion tons of excess CO2 through regenerative, organic farming, ranching and land use.
