Potential of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plants as biomass for bioenergy and biorefinery
- Abstract:
-
Bioenergy crops have been exploited in the past decades as a mean to combat climate change and address energy security issues (IEA, 2014). However, the food vs fuel dilemma of employing energy crops has prompted scientists to search for alternative sustainable biomass options. Recently, Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) plants such as agave and prickly pear have gained research interest as alternative energy crops. Having evolved a specialised photosynthesis mode, CAM plants possess key f...
