Lyure Screw Press becomes involved in sweet sorghum projects due to the crop's ease of cultivation and high sugar content, making it an attractive option for bioenergy production, such as ethanol. Lyure's expertise extends to various bioenergy projects involving crops like corn, beets, cane, banana, oranges, and onions, showcasing the versatility of their screw press technology.
However, despite the technical achievements, the commercial success of these projects hinges on the price of fuel oil. When fuel prices are not sufficiently high, the economic justification for such bioenergy initiatives diminishes. Nevertheless, the existence of these technologies provides reassurance that alternative, renewable energy sources are available should the need arise.
