he demand for energy continued to outstrip supply
and necessitated the development of biomass option.
Residues were the most popular forms of renewable energy
and currently biofuel production became much promising.
Agricultural wastes contained high moisture content and
could be decomposed easily by microbes. Agricultural
wastes were abundantly available globally and could be
converted to energy and useful chemicals by a number of
microorganisms. Compost or bio-fertiliser could be produced
with the inoculation of appropriated thermophilic microbes
which increased the decomposition rate, shortened
the maturity period and improved the compost (or bio-
fertiliser) quality. The objective of the present research was
to promote the biomass technology and involved adaptive
research, demonstration and dissemination of results.
With a view to fulfill the objective, a massive field survey
was conducted to assess the availability of raw materials
as well as the present situation of biomass technologies.
In the present communication, an attempt had also been
made to present an overview of present and future use of
biomass as an industrial feedstock for production of fuels,
chemicals and other materials. We may conclude from the
review paper that biomass technology must be encouraged,
promoted, invested, implemented, and demonstrated, not
only in urban areas but also in remote rural areas. The move
towards a low-carbon world, driven partly by climate science
and partly by the business opportunities it offers, will need
the promotion of environmentally friendly alternatives, if an
acceptable stabilisation level of atmospheric carbon dioxide
is to be achieved. The biomass energy, one of the important
options, which might gradually replace the oil in facing the
increased demand for oil and may be an advanced period
in this century. Any county can depend on the biomass
energy to satisfy part of local consumption. Development of
biogas technology is a vital component of alternative rural
energy programme, whose potential is yet to be exploited.
A concerted effect is required by all if this is to be realised.
The technology will find ready use in domestic, farming, and
small-scale industrial applications. Support biomass research
and exchange experiences with countries that are advanced
in this field. In the meantime, the biomass energy can help to
save exhausting the oil wealth.
