Estimating Biomass potential for Bio-fuel conversion in India: Some Methodological Issues

Abstract

As resources diminish and need increase, it has become important to utilize waste materials as fuel. This paper discusses some methodological issues on the biomass conversion into fuel. Biomass is an organic matter formed by plants, trees agricultural crop residues, and by-products of forestry and agricultural industries. Utilization of indigenously available biomass resources can reduce the production cost and alleviate the problems of disposal and pollution.
