Hay for Bioenergy
The articles in this section give an overview of grass for bioenergy.  This is a rapidly changing area.  As you read these articles, you will learn that even grass for bioenergy needs to have certain qualities.  The ash content and types of minerals in the grass will determine how it can be used for bioenergy.  Hopefully, in the future the apparatus that uses grass for fuel will be less sensitive to ash content and other qualities of hay.
