1 The Production of Perennial Forages for Biofuels Paul E. Nyren Central Grasslands Research Extension Center
2 Biomass Power Back to the Future ,000,000 horses & mules in USA < 5,000,000 Resulted in major land use change. 80,000, acres of pasture & hayland (biomass) released for other uses If we are to reach the federal governments goal of 1 billion tons of biomass for ethanol by 2030 then we will see a similar land use change again.
3 A study in cooperation with the USDA-ARS in Lincoln Nebraska was started in 2002 to evaluate the production and economics of raising switchgrass for ethanol.
4 Research Objectives Determine the biomass yield and select chemical composition of perennial herbaceous crops at several locations throughout central and western North Dakota
5 Research Objectives Determine the optimum harvest dates for maximum biomass yield and maintenance of the stands.
6 Research Objectives Compare annual and biennial harvest on total biomass yield and maintenance of the stands.
7 Research Objectives Evaluate carbon sequestration and storage Evaluate carbon sequestration and storage of the various perennial crops
8 Research Objectives Evaluate the economic feasibility of the various perennial herbaceous energy crops with competing crops in the surrounding area.

25 How Much Energy is Saved if Cellulosic Biomass is used for Ethanol A study started at the Central Grasslands and other sites across the Northern Great Plains in 2001 evaluated switchgrass for biofuels for that for every unit of energy in there was 5.4 units of energy out.
