Energy crops are plants grown specifically for the purpose of producing biofuels. These crops are typically grown on a large scale and are used to produce biodiesel, ethanol, and other biofuels. Energy crops are typically grown in areas with high levels of sunlight and rainfall, and are often grown in rotation with other crops. The use of energy crops for biofuel production has been increasing in recent years, as it is seen as a more sustainable and renewable source of energy.
Energy crops are typically grown in a variety of ways, including traditional farming methods, as well as more modern methods such as hydroponics and aquaponics. The use of energy crops for biofuel production has been seen as a way to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, as well as to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Some companies in the energy crop market include Abengoa Bioenergy, Archer Daniels Midland, Cargill, DuPont, and Novozymes. Show Less Read more
