“…The cultivation of elephant grass can yield stems with up to 3 m high, with annual production rates of 88 Mg of dry matter per hectare (Pérez-Boada et al, 2014). Fontoura et al (2015) demonstrated that it is economically feasible to use elephant grass as source of biomass for power plants in biorefinery systems (Fontoura et al, 2015).…”

“…The techno-economic studies provide the economic feasibility aspect whether the production process gives benefits in the range of the given time. By using feasibility analysis, Fontoura (Fontoura, Brandão et al 2015) found that converting an Elephant grass into a biorefinery adds value is economically feasible. However, the value of the present products is temporary and inverse to real wealth.…”

“…Algumas pesquisas estão buscando também viabilizar o uso do campim elefante como matéria-prima para a produção de etanol de 2ª geração, com a vantagem que seu plantio causaria menores problemas ao solo, como acontece com o cultivo da cana-de-açúcar (SCHOLL et al, 2015;JONKER et al, 2015;FONTOURA et al, 2015).…”
