Which of the following statements are correct in this context of energy crops?

A. They are fast growing plants

B. They require specific season to grow

C. They necessarily require fertile land to grow

D. They can be converted into gaseous and liquid fuel

E. They generally have high calorific value

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The correct answer is A, D, and E only.

"Energy crops" is a term used to describe biofuel crops. Wheat, corn, main edible oilseeds/edible oils, sugarcane, and other crops are among them.

Key Points

Biofuels have a number of advantages over fossil fuels, including the ability to burn cleaner and emit fewer pollutants and greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, into the sky. They're also environmentally friendly, and energy corporations frequently mix Biofuels with gasoline.

This means that, unlike non-renewable resources like oil, coal, and natural gas, they have the potential to live far longer. 

Important Points

Energy crops have the following characteristics-

1. They are fast-growing plants.
2. They can be converted into gaseous and liquid fuels.
3. They generally have high calorific value.
4. Energy crops can also be used to produce electricity through the use of biomass power plants, which burn plant material to generate heat that is used to produce electricity.
5. Energy crops are considered as a renewable energy source and they can also be used as a way to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and help to mitigate climate change.

Therefore, the correct answer is A, D, and E only.
