Study reveals grass yields more ethanol and less emissions than corn

Intro Text:

Researchers from University of Illinois conducted a study and found that grass that grows all year round will yield more ethanol output and lesser greenhouse gases emissions. The least productive farmlands in many parts of the United States are planted with corn used for ethanol production. Grasses like miscanthus, a hybrid grass used in Western Europe and switchgrass, which is native in the United States.
