Energy crop - Sorghum

These plants are not designed to produce grain, but amounts of biomass. Sorghum is potentially the raw material for a new generation of biofuels made from stems, stalks and leaves. Typically, there are other types of sorghum that maximize grain yields.

But this high-biomass sorghum variety being studied by Ceres and Texas A&M, will be specifically for use as a feedstock for cellulosic biofuels.

You can read more about Cere's Sorghum. Very interesting.
