Energy from Crops: Production and Management of Biomass/Energy Crops on Phosphatic Clay in Central Florida

While it appears that biomass/energy crops may be successfully grown on phosphatic clay soils, a processing facility is needed to convert the biomass to energy in the form of methane, ethanol or electricity. Without an appropriate facility, there is no market for the crop. This document is Circular...
