Has anyone got any idea about which crops can be used to create biofuel?

Also If I encouraged lots of people to grow these crops would I be able to sell out harvest to a company so they could use it to produce biofuel?

corn, miscanthus, willow, straw, wood chips. These are all used as biofuels. People (farmers) are already doing this.
Unfortunately growing crops specifically for biofules is not normally economically viable

This study from last year :

http://www.bioenergywm.org/documents/Biofuels% 20study.pdf

Concluded that it would cost between 4.5p to 14.9p per litre more.

As business plans go I think you'll have to wait for the economics to improve
