In the Dominican Republic, VIASPACE reports they have produced Giant King Grass pellets, which were tested by SGS North America. The pellets reportedly have a gross calorific value of 7724 BTU/dry lb. The pelletization and testing of Giant King Grass was performed as part of a project to develop a 250,000 to 400,000 ton per year biomass pellet plant in the Dominican Republic. The project is the result of a Memorandum of Understanding signed by VIASPACE and General Biofuels earlier this year, with an eye towards targeting coal-fired power plants in Europe that are committed to reducing their carbon dioxide emissions by replacing up to 20% of coal with biomass.
