CONSIDERATIONS ON THE IMPORTANCE OF CULTIVATING SORGHUM TO THE BIOFUEL INDUSTRY FOR PRODUCING BIOETHANOL

Energy crops are crops suitable for the production of products such as biofuels (biodiesel, ecological diesel) and electric or thermal energy. Plants suitable for such energy crops are: woody (energy willow, poplar, paulownia) and grasses (annual crops such as corn, wheat, rapeseed, soybeans, sweet sorghum or perennials: pampas grass, elephant grass). The article presents a series of arguments for growing sugar sorghum on large areas in order to obtain the bioethanol used in the biofuel industry
