Biomass production and ethanol potential from sweet sorghum in Croatia
Sorghum has been identified as a preferred biomass crop for fermentation into methanol and ethanol fuel. The adaptation of sorghum to sub-humid and semiarid climates has extended sorghum production into larger regions than other warm-cereal grains. Sorghum can produce approximately 30 dry tons/ha per year of biomass on low quality soils with low inputs of fertilizer and limited water per dry ton of crop, half of that required by sugar beet and third of the requirement for sugar cane or corn. The foreseen results were to test different Sweet Sorghum genotypes to their aptitudes to produce biomass and ethanol production in the climatic conditions of Croatia. The Sweet Sorgum hybrid proved to be very valuable and well adapted to the conditions of Croatia, outlined by high productivity of biomass and ethanol production.
