Iowa researchers spend six years studying perennial grasses in corn and soybean fields
But converting portions of farmland back to prairie has to make financial sense for farmers, which is why a research team led by Iowa State University has spent the past six years studying how to efficiently turn harvested grass into lucrative renewable natural gas.
A pair of recently published peer-reviewed articles by Schulte-Moore’s research group modeled the economic feasibility of grass-to-gas production in different settings and from varying perspectives, analysis that helps flesh out the system’s win-win potential.
