Effects of Partial Harvesting on Napier Grass: Reduced Seasonal Variability in Feedstock Supply and Increased Biomass Yield

The production of cellulosic bioethanol from non-edible plants is receiving increasing attention for its potential to avoid food–fuel competition. However, seasonal variability in feedstock supplies increases the costs of stockpiling and limits commercialization. The cellulosic energy plant Napier g...
