Biomass energy is one such renewable source of energy.

The original Napier or Elephant grass (Pennisetum Purpureum) is native to tropical Africa. It grows best at higher temperatures. Yields are reduced at low air temperature and plants cease to grow at below 10 degrees centigrade. It normally grows in areas of with annual rainfall of over 1000 mm, but is also seen in semi-arid areas. Its production is higher on fertile soils but can grow on almost any soil. Hybrid Napier is developed by crossing Napier with Bajra.

Being a sterile hybrid, it is propagated by stem cuttings or rooted slips. Planting can be done at any time if irrigation is available except during winter months. The first cut is taken 60-75 days after planting and subsequent cuts at 45-50 days interval. The average yield of green fodder is 350-400 MT/Ha/Year.

napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum) are producing 75 to 100 ODT/ha/yr.
