Switchgrass has long been the main crop of farmers. Used as fodder, fuel and electricity for farm animals, buffer zone and soil erosion control.
However, when President Bush introduced the biofuel initiative in his 2006 speech, he advocated the use of local grass as an energy product.
The biofuel initiative is an important part of the energy initiative developed by the president. By 2025, the country strives to reduce its dependence on foreign oil suppliers by more than 75% of oil imports.
The goal is to use biomass to produce non-energy fuels, such as agricultural waste, trees, forest waste and annual grass.
The purified switchgear produces ethanol, which gives fuel to the vehicle. Currently, ethanol is sold in the form of E-85, mixed with 15 to 85 percent gasoline.
Switchgrass or Panic Grass is a short Lipomatous plant. Highly adapted to the fact that Highland can be grown in different climatic conditions. They are also drought tolerant.
From sowing to harvest, the switch requires less energy to produce biofuel.
My semester is the annual harvest
The annual crop can be harvested twice a year for up to 10 years before planting. They also grow fast, absorb solar energy, and convert that energy into cellulose. Ethanol is extracted from cellulose by distillation.
Yields above one acre
The results of 19 BF DP (Bioenergy Food Growth) research sites in the East and Central America indicate that switches can be harvested from 15 hectares per hectare. When ethanol is pure, it gives 1,500 gallons of ethanol per acre. On average, a six-year average produces 115,000 gallons of ethanol per acre.
Economy
A study by the University of California, Berkeley found that gasoline production requires more energy than ethanol production.
Use several times
Advances in gamification technology are expected to produce useful fuels: diesel fuel, methane gas and methanol.
Environmentally friendly
Switchgrass does not harm soil fertility, because it even adds organic matter.
Switchgrass has a complex stem and root system. This system extends to the underground part to prevent soil erosion and protect it.
Switchgrass is a reliable buffer. Farmers plant these crops in swamps and on beaches to filter pesticides and prevent the entry of these dangerous chemicals into the water supply.
Switchgrass removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air and puts it into the ground. Fossil fuels, on the other hand, emit large amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere, increasing air pollution and worsening the effects of greenhouse gases.
Use it financially
It takes a lot of money to develop a pipe. Adding government tax incentives and switches that improve switches would be beneficial, such as fuel extraction.
This is the current disadvantage of using the switch as the main source of biofuel.
The need to improve preventive technology
Modern technology is not effective in achieving higher results than switches. Researchers and developers need to solve this.
Space allocation requirements for the switch
Is there an agricultural area for switchgear installation? Systems should be established to ensure that there is room for transitional grass and feed crops.
The use of switches as an energy product can be implemented from an economic, industrial and environmental point of view.
However, the success of the switch as an energy crop will depend on these key factors: government policy and funding, research and development, technological innovation, and vehicle efficiency.
