I’m familiar with wood pellets, but what is the advantage of using corn as a fuel?
Corn is a local fuel that requires only 180 days to grow. This is compared to decades for growing wood fuel and millennia for fossil fuels. The energy value in corn per pound is similar to the energy available in wood pellets. But, more importantly, the carbon dioxide emitted in the burning of the corn is almost entirely absorbed by the growing of the next years crop, so there are nearly no net greenhouse gases produced.
