During the warm seasons, people around the world cut the grass in their yard and rarely think anything else of it. The shards pile up in clumps around the yard or near the curb and some days the wind even blows them into the neighbor's yard. The actual name for this biofuel is called grassoline and it has caught the interest of environmentalists all over the world.
One benefit of grassoline would of course be that the yard would look a lot better without the grass clippings scattered all over the place. Ethanol is currently being used and tested to fuel vehicles and other engines. Unfortunately, a person won't be able to empty their lawnmower bag quite yet and fill up their gas tanks with the broken down grass. Using grass as a biofuel is one of several products being tested right now. Using grass, corn and other natural vegetation in order to power engines is something that is being done to lower the amount of greenhouse gases being leaked into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases help deplete the ozone layer and contribute to global warming.
