Jerusalem artichoke biomass and fuel yield
I read at a place that jerusalem artichoke can give 700 gallons of ethanol per acre = 1750 gallons per hectare = 6 plus tons per ha...now, that's a lot...but are these yields really a fact?

Next generation feedstock + Next gen processes = sustainable biofuels?
It might be worth researching next gen biofuels (algae, switchgrass etc) and next gen processes (pyrolysis, gasification etc), to see if these two together can ensure sustainable biofuels

Prevention of biofuel feedstock from invading the ecology
a balance must be struck between designing biofuel feedstock crops to require minimal inputs and yet preventing them from surviving outside the cultivated environment. This is true especially in cases when the feedstock introduced can become invasive - Read More

Could sea asparagus be a good biofuel feedstock?
halophyte salicornia, also known as sea asparagus. This salt-loving succulent is a potential food source and an oil seed crop that can also provide a cooking oil, high-protein meal, and biofuel. So, the question is, can this be grown in marine environments? - Read More

Camelina - a good biofuel feedstock?
Here’s the lowdown on camelina. First, it grows on land unsuitable for food crops. It has yields that are roughly double that of soy. The oil it produces is more cold-resistant than the average biodiesel feedstock. It tolerates cold climates well - it has been grown for years in pockets of Montana. It’s supported by research and field trials at a number of land-grant colleges around the country - Oregon State, Montana State, Idaho among them. It grows wild in the US - Read More
