However, large-scale planting on marginal lands would require improved varieties with optimized biofuel-related traits and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses. GN-2, GN-4, and GN-10) and sweet type (var. Sweet sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is a sugar producing multipurpose crop which is used for simultaneous production of grain (from earhead), sugary juice (from stem) and fodder (leaves and bagasse) for livestock. Sweet sorghum has been evaluated for biofuel feedstock potential since the 1980s because of its capability of producing sugar‐enriched juice and high biomass yields. Ethanol production from sweet sorghum R.D. Sweet sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is a potential feedstock for ethanol production in many regions of the world.The objective of this study was to compare sweet sorghum cultivars with maize (Zea mays L.) as alternatives for ethanol production in the northern Corn Belt.Thirteen sweet sorghum cultivars were … Economics of ethanol production from sweet sorghum under CU. Biomass production and ethanol potential from sweet sorghum Abstract Potential feedstocks from crop-based energy production systems range from starchy and sugary tuberous crops to woody, oilseed, or herbaceous crops (including corn, sweet and grain sorghums, and several grasses). Abstract: Sweet sorghum stalks were used as a low cost carrier for immobilization of Saccharomyces cerevisiae NP 01 to produce ethanol from sweet sorghum juice. Field experiments were conducted in marginal lands, i.e., sub-humid climate and saline-land (SHS) and semi-arid climate and wasteland (SAW), to evaluate ethanol potential based on the biomass yield and chemical composition of biomass type (var. The effects on ethanol production of carrier size (6 × 6 × 6 to 20 × 20 × 20 mm3) and initial cell Sweet sorghum bagasse can also be utilised for ethanol production.
