| Description |
Oxygenated fuels derived from biomass are ga1n1ng
importance because of the restrictions on the presence of
lead and aromatics 1n gasoline as well as because of their
capability to reduce the net green house gases from
autoemissions. In addition, biomass provides the cleanest
synthetic fuel as compared to coal, shale and'tar sands.
Biomass from which energy can be reclaimed can be
harvested as gro~n crops or natural stands from waste, arid
and semiarid lands, as surplus from crops grown primarily for
food and manufacturing raw materials and through agricultural
wastes.
Since India has basically agricultural dependent
economy, the manufacture of chemicals and fuels from
agriculture wastes and forestry products is getting a degree
of attention it never had before. The paper presents an
overv1ew of the availability of some of the surplus
agricultural resides as well as the var10us conversion
processes for upgrading these to liquid fuels. Advantages of
, some of the processes over others are also discussed.
