Biomass resources in agriculture. Biomass is derived from organic material such as trees, plants, and agricultural and urban waste. The majority of biomass produced by EU agriculture comes in the form of biogas, and feedstocks for making biodiesel and bioethanol. Biogas, biodiesel and biothenal are the three main categories of bioenergy

The main principle is the use of renewable natural resources and by-products, such as agricultural waste biomass, which is one of the main inputs to the bioeconomy. This is the main reason that over 60% of the articles analysed have been published in the last 10 years.
The charcoal produced is more valuable per ton and easier to transport and sell than biomass, reducing transportation costs by two-thirds and giving farmers an additional income opportunity — and an incentive not to burn agricultural waste, Kung says. "There''s more income for farmers, and you get better air quality." Roots in India
Lignocellulose biomass (LCB) arises from agricultural and forest residues, organic solid waste from recycling stations, paper, wood, and pulp. According to recent statistics, globally the annual production of lignocellulose biomass is approximately 181.5 billion tons, out of which only 8.2 billion tons of lignocellulose biomass is utilized by
There are several valuable bioproducts that can be withdrawn from agricultural waste biomass using potential bioconversion pretreatment approaches, such as in the agriculture sector (vermicomposting, biofertilizers, biochar, wood vinegar), the bioenergy sector (biofuels), and the pharma sector (antimicrobials, antioxidants, and
Biochar has gained attention as an alternative source of solid energy and for the proper disposal of agricultural biomass waste (ABW). Microwave-assisted pyrolysis (MAP) is a promising approach for
Vocabulary. People have used biomass energy —energy from living things—since the earliest hominids first made wood fires for cooking or keeping warm. Biomass is organic, meaning it is made of material that comes from living organisms, such as plants and animals. The most common biomass materials used for energy are plants,
Biomass is the biodegradable fraction of products, wastes, and residues of biological origin from agriculture (including plant and livestock), forestry, and related industries, including fisheries and aqua culture, as well as the biodegradable fraction of industrial waste and household waste.
Waste management practices: Using waste agricultural biomass, such as agricultural or forestry leftovers or food scraps, can also be a part of agricultural biomass usage. Resource efficiency, waste reduction, and the circular economy principles can all be supported by waste management practices that encourage the collection,
One option for agricultural biofuels is food waste. According to the Food and Drug Administration, the U.S. throws away between 30 and 40 percent of all food grown. Although Oregon, Washington, and Idaho are relatively good at preventing food waste and repurposing wasted food compared to other U.S. states, uneaten food still creates
2.1. Agricultural and forestry wastes. It is estimated that the generation of rice straw, wheat straw, corn straw, sugarcane bagasse, and rice husk, the most abundant biomass wastes from agricultural wastes, is 731, 354, 204, 181 and 110 million tons (Mt) per year, respectively [] addition, the global production of wood biomass
The land use for the biomass production step as one of the environmental indicators for both agricultural and waste agricultural crops is depicted in Fig. 6. This indicator is a function of the required amount of biomass supplied for 1 ton of bioethanol production ( ({X_{R,b}}) (ton)) and the biomass yield ( ({y_b}) (ton/ha)).
Energy from biomass constitutes an important part of the total energy supply in the country. Biomass energy is an ideal option to replace expensive energy supply during peak hours Agricultural waste/ Biomass is widely distributed and available in the country Agricultural waste/ biomass has the most positive community impact in
This Collection focuses on the conversion of biomass waste into value-added bio-products and bioactive compounds, and their applications in the agro-energy

Biomass—renewable energy from plants and animals. Biomass is renewable organic material that comes from plants and animals. Biomass contains stored chemical energy from the sun that is produced by plants through photosynthesis. Agricultural crops and waste materials—corn, soybeans, sugar cane, switchgrass,
Introduction. Agricultural and forestry practices produce large amounts of wastes derived from harvestable yield. The global annual generation of biomass
The ''proof of concept'' established through this study shows that the residual ash from the burning of certain agricultural biomass waste contains enough calcium oxide (× 100 g/kg), to enable
In a word, it can be concluded that agricultural biomass can put a positive effect on the sludge dewatering and drying processes. On the other words, agricultural biomass can also significantly increase the calorific value of sludge and then shorten the drying time for self-supporting incineration. 3.1.2. Effect of different added ratios
Among the various components of agricultural waste biomass, cellulose is the base material for scarification and fermentation for biofuel production (Jamaldheen et al., 2022). Hence, pretreatment is very crucial to obtain the hemicellulose and lignin-free cellulose-rich residue. Temperature and reaction time play an important role in biomass
Solid Biomass (energy resource)—woody material, crops, municipal solid waste (MSW), and animal and agricultural waste that can be directly burned to produce heat or to generate electricity. EIA, Biomass and waste electricity net generation). Highest Heat Generation from Biomass: World 2019 (IEA Bioenergy Countries'' Report,
Agricultural waste biomass-based biochar might be an acceptable substitute for managing contaminants due to its low cost, high efficiency, ease of use, ecological integrity, and trustworthiness in terms of public safety. Biochars had also made significant progress in terms of lowering greenhouse gas emissions, reducing soil
Agricultural waste biomass contains three major structural polymers such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin those act as the potential feedstock for the production of sustainable fuels and chemicals. Many species of microorganisms showed the potential to degrade agricultural wastes thereby releasing a vast amount of carbon that
Organic waste is a large agricultural biomass resource that is frequently disregarded, including food waste, animal manure, and sewage sludge. These waste
Agricultural activities generate huge volumes of biomass residues, with crop derived waste accounting for 94% of global biomass production 1. These include
Most biomass types can be used as feedstock in an anaerobic digester, including animal manure, crop residues, municipal waste, aquatic biomass etc. (Wellinger et al., 2013). The cellulose contents in tobacco waste can vary between 43.4% and 68.4% ( Ye et al., 2013b ), which is good for anaerobic digestion.
Globally, 140 billion metric tons of biomass wastes are generated every year from agriculture equivalent to about 50 billion tons of oil. As raw materials, biomass wastes have attractive potentials for both large-scale industries and community-level enterprises. For efficient and effective conversion, appropriate selection of technologies is one of the
