This study explores the potential of sorghum as a bioenergy crop, with a focus on its genetic diversity, growth characteristics, and its applications in bioethanol and biomass production. The findings highlight several advantages of using sorghum for bioenergy purposes, including its efficient resource utilization, sustainability, and potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Sorghum plays a valuable role in promoting renewable energy development and sustainable agriculture. Recent advances in genetic research and breeding technologies have led to the development of sorghum varieties specifically tailored for energy use. These energy-dedicated varieties exhibit desirable traits such as higher cellulose content, increased sugar accumulation during growth, and improved fermentation efficiency. The aim of this study is to provide a scientific foundation for the enhanced utilization of sorghum in bioenergy applications and to support its integration into global energy systems.
