Do you have a study of this idea? At first glance it seems that the problems of fermentation, transportation, and resources needed to produce at that scale would be too large to overcome.
- ars 6y agoI do not. I made it up since I think it could work. Most studies assume the switchgrass will be burned in place of coal (which still helps). Fermentation might not be a problem, I'm hoping the switchgrass would be harvested when very dry, to cut down on that. Grass for silage, (which ferments) is cut when green, but hay is dry and does not ferment. Transportation and resources would be something, yes, but if you take a look at what we've built to make use of hydrocarbons, I think we could manage.
