While switchgrass does have it’s part to play, hemp does produce better quality fuel pellets with less ash and less corrosion issues to the stove or boiler. Therefore more pellet stoves and boilers can burn hemp pellets as they burn similar to wood pellets.

hemp is far superior to switchgrass

Why?
I would rather redesign a Steam Engine system for a Automobile that would allow you to drop switch grass pellets into the cars hopper...lol

Scientific American just announced that the US agriculture department is investing 2 billion dollars for research and the constrution of refineries for making fuel out of switchgrass. 540% of the energy required to cultivate it would be produced. Bye Bye Oil Companies! :D

Yes, it can. Google "Switch-grass production" and you will find studies done in the mid-west that conclude that switch-grass is a viable alternative. It's scientific name is Panicum virgatum, it's native to the Great Plains, and it provides great wildlife habitat.

People are working on better ways to turn cellulose such as switchgrass into ethanol. Right now it is costly but works. It makes a lot more sense then corn from an land use, environment and soon an economic point of view.

Cool. Also, switch grass can be made into ethanol or bio-diesel, right?
