What is the LCA evidence gap for Napier?
needs verification
Unlike manure and waste pathways, there is no robust peer-reviewed life-cycle assessment of Napier-based CBG in Indian conditions. Existing work is largely lab and pilot yield studies, so the carbon intensity of a Napier-fed plant - accounting for cultivation, fertiliser, water and land use - is genuinely uncertain and should be stated as such.

This is one of the claims most often got backwards. It appears in the graded path.
