As pointed out by Barber et al., (2010) perennial grasses benefit the environment in numerous ways. They help to reduce climate change, increase energy efficiency and will constitute a sustainable energy resource for the world. Switchgrass, the most widely used perennial grass for biofuels, is also in such a manner, beneficial to both farmers as well as energy consumers in general. Perennial grasses are crucial to the ecosystem to create a sustainable energy resource for the world and also to limit the use of fossil fuels. These grasses are important because they can produce ethanol, an energy source that emits much less carbon dioxide than other fossil fuels. Reducing carbon dioxide emissions is important because carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere constitute one of the leading causes of climate change. Barry (2008) pointed out that 1 bale of switchgrass can yield up to about 50 gallons of ethanol. As reported by Rinehart (2006), researchers are using switchgrass as a biofuel so that they can successfully reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Switchgrass has a high energy in and out ratio because of lignin, the byproduct of the cellulose conversion that stores internal energy for its energy transformation process. Ethanol reduces carbon dioxide emissions by approximately ninety percent when compared to gasoline and consequently, carbon dioxide in the ozone layer of our atmosphere will slowly begin to deplete itself as biofuels created from switchgrass, other grasses and other ethanol sources are utilized. As a rule, all species of the grass family (poaceae) contain starch and should be able to yield ethanol.
