Read original comment ↗This paper shows how much more efficient switchgrass is at producing ethanol than corn. This video is an interesting look at this whole issue:(Engineering Explained - America Was Wrong About Ethanol) [VIDEO] Especially his summary, where corn creates 20 percent less GHG than gasoline and ''breaks even'' after 28 years, while switchgrass creates 94% less GHG and breaks even in it's first year.
