Energy potential through agricultural biomass using geographical information system—A case study of Punjab

Spatial Analysis the Potential for Energy Generation from Crop Residues in Shodirwan, Iran

“…RPR defined as the amount of residue production divided by agricultural production. The following form is used to cumulate potential of the gross potential of residue in each hectare [13,14]: (1) where (CR)i is the amount of crop residues of ith crop in ton/hectare, (RPR)i the RPR of the ith crop and (PrC)i the yield of crop production in ton/hectare. The all of field residues cannot be recoverable and utilized as an energy source, because percentage of field residues of a crop to be recycled onto the land depends upon the specific local climatic and soil conditions or use for domestic purposes, animal fodder, etc [12,14].…”

Up to now, in Shodirwan, agriculture residues are not being used for energy generation in any case but only for animal feed and produce alcohol and MDF (medium density fibreboard) in Imam Khomeini agro-industry and most of them is burned by farmers in the field.…”

“…The RPR, recoverable factor (RF) and LHV used in the present analysis are presented in [14,18]: (2) where Qi is the energy potential (GJ/h/year) of ith crop, LHVi the LHV of ith crop (GJ/t) and nc the conversion efficiency. A number of technologies with different efficiency exist for power generation from biomass.…”

Study of Sustainable Utility of Biomass Energy Technologies for Rural Infrastructure and Village Power-Opportunities by Developing Bio Village Model

“…So, for the country like in India where biomass resources are abundantly available for electricity generation to meet the demand without any environmental hazard and making the village self-sustained in its energy requirement is the most suitable one [7][8]. …”

Waste-Water Use in Energy Crops Production

“…In particular, biomass from agriculture represent one of the largest and most diversified sources to be exploited and more specifically, ethanol and diesel deriving from biomass have the potential to be a sustainable means of replacing fossil fuels for transportation (Singh et al, 2008;Dalla Marta et al, 2010). These liquid biofuels are bioethanol (gasoline-equivalent) and biodiesel (diesel-equivalent).…”
