Digging Into Data

Energy Efficiency of Biofuel Production From Corn, Soy, and
Prairie Grasses
Most biomass currently used for biofuel production in the United
States consists of food cropsmainly corn, soybeans, and sugarcane.
In 2006, David Tilman and his colleagues published the results of a
10-year study comparing the net energy output of various biofuels.
The researchers grew a mixture of native perennial grasses without
irrigation, fertilizer, pesticides, or herbicides, in sandy soil that was
so depleted by intensive agriculture that it had been abandoned.
They measured the usable energy in biofuels made from the grasses,
from corn, and from soy. They also measured the energy it took to
grow and produce each kind of biofuel (see figure).
1. About how much energy did ethanol produced from one hectare
of corn yield? ~23Kcal
How much energy did it take to grow and produce
that ethanol? ~17 Kcal

2. Which biofuel tested had the highest ratio of energy output to

energy input? Corn grain ethanol.
3. Which of the three crops would require the least amount of land
to produce a given amount of biofuel energy? Soybean biodiesel.
