摘要：
Agricultural and herbaceous crops can be used to produce renewable energy in a short time following establishment. Some perennial crops also offer protection against soil erosion, allowing them to be grown on land which would be unsuited to row-crop agriculture. When compared with woody biomass crops, harvesting the crop and putting it into a transportable form may be more expensive and the energy density is low, allowing shorter distances to the site of conversion to a more useful form of energy. Those crops which can be more easily converted to a liquid fuel appeared to be receiving the most attention. The current cost of producing renewable energy from these crops is greater than the cost of conventional fossil energy.
