Economic Feasibility of Biofuel Crops in Florida: Sugarcane on Mineral Soils

This 9-page fact sheet provides estimates of costs and returns to produce ethanol from sugarcane, rather than sugar. These preliminary estimates should guide researchers as to whether sugarcane varieties are economically feasible to be considered for biofuel/energy production. Written by José Álvar...
