Bioenergy from Perennial Grasses

AWI [Agricultural Watershed Institute] is a leader in this emerging field. Our report, Establishing a grass energy crop market in the Decatur area, analyzes the economics and environmental benefits of renewable energy from perennial grasses and presents a roadmap for using this biomass for power and heat.

This project was funded in part by the Illinois Clean Community Foundation, the City of Decatur, and the Sanitary District of Decatur.

Report
Establishing a Grass Energy Crop Market in the Decatur Area

A discussion paper, Support your local grass farmer, makes the case for establishing local bioenergy markets, comparable to the growing local food movement.

Please let us know what you think about this or what you are doing to promote “local bioenergy”.
