Thanks for that data. Maybe a genetically modified version or a hybrid version of switch grass that needs less processing can be cultivated so its production costs can be lowered...
Alternatively, maybe more attention could be paid to using BACTERIA that uses HUMAN WASTE/INDUSTRIAL WASTE/AGRICULTURAL WASTE as food can be modified to produce hydrocarbons that can then be cheaply refined to gasoline. I posted a link about that earlier. The first processing plant will be built later this year for bacteria-produced gasoline.
