<p>Thick stands of lush native switchgrass waving in a summer's breeze represent the raw materials for the next generation of biofuels. </p>
<p>Commercial production of cellulosic ethanol from switchgrass or other biomass sources remains a few years off. But Nebraska researchers are making sure farmers have high-yielding strains and management information to efficiently grow switchgrass for biofuel.</p>
<p>Ken Vogel, a USDA-ARS plant geneticist at UNL, leads joint USDA-UNL research on switchgrass. He has developed high-yielding switchgrass varieties specifically for biofuel production and has studied their potential since the early 1990s. He and colleagues also have identified management practices for maximizing production and have evaluated yields, economics and energy output.</p>

<p>Researchers also found greenhouse gas emissions from switchgrass-based ethanol production were 94 percent lower than emissions from gasoline production.</p>
<p>UNL agricultural economist Richard Perrin found the on-farm cost of producing switchgrass for biofuel averages about $60 per ton. Perrin&rsquo;s findings were published in <em>BioEnergy Research</em>. </p>
<p>Switchgrass has long been used for conservation plantings and cattle grazing. Vogel said he&rsquo;s excited about growing switchgrass for biofuel production because it&rsquo;s a perennial that doesn&rsquo;t need annual planting, grows well on marginal land ill-suited to crops, and harvesting doesn&rsquo;t diminish its soil-protecting powers.</p>
