Can Napier grass be used to make biogas?
sourced
Yes. Napier, or elephant grass, is a fast-growing energy crop that gives methane-rich biogas - about 63.5% methane as a mono-substrate in one study. It is lignocellulosic, so pretreatment and co-digestion improve yield, and it is water-hungry despite its drought tolerance.
