Fiber dimensions, lignin and cellulose content of various plant materials and their suitability for paper production
TL;DR: Fiber dimensions and lignin and cellulose content of various highly productive, non-wood plants and agricultural residues were examined to assess their suitability for paper production in this paper, which revealed satisfactory levels of α-cellulose content (close to 40%) and Klason Lignin content (approximately 25%).

The Biology and Agronomy of Switchgrass for Biofuels
David J. Parrish,John H. Fike +1 more
TL;DR: Switchgrass has potential as a renewable fuel source, but such use will likely require large infrastructural changes; and, even at maximum output, such systems could not provide the energy currently being derived from fossil fuels.
