It has received attention as a potential energy crop, and research is currently being conducted on the use of the crop's biomass in bioethanol production.
A source of energy that is dependent on a primary source of energy for its power. Since the production of electricity, for example, is dependent on the use of fossil fuels, nuclear power, or renewable sources, it is referred to as a secondary energy source.
Energy can be considered in two categories - primary and secondary. 1  Primary energy is energy in the form of natural resources, such as wood, coal, oil, natural gas, natural uranium, wind, hydro power, and sunlight. 2  Secondary energy is the more useable forms to which primary energy may be converted, such as electricity and petrol.
