520 _aThe word 'Bio energy is very comprehensive in nature. It includes a variety of bio-resources (woody and herbacious bio mass. petrocrops, energy crops, organic residues), which can be processed through a diversity of technologies (biological, physical, and thermochemical) into a multiplicity of fuels (solid, liquid and gaseous fuels) for thermal, mechanical, and electrical forms in the household, agricultural, industrial, and transportation sectors. Despite many marvellous achievements in the field of science and technology, the bio-energy potential has remained almost unexplored. The creation of the Department of Non Conventional Energy Sources (DNES), has played a significant role in highlighting the multi-dimensional facets of this programme. Bio-energy is directly linked to all the National priority area, e.g.. energy supply, food production, environmental protection, employment and income-generation, educational reorientation, and wasteland utilisation. Maximum and efficient utilisation of biomass is the real Indian Path' which can meet growing needs of the country. No doubt, a number of articles/books on bio-energy have appeared in the literature but there is no comprehensive compilation available on this subject. The present book presents an integrated composite picture of the scattered isolated pieces of information. The book is divided into 11 sections. Introductory-Energy from Biomass-An Overview: Bioenergy from wastelands;-Energy Plantations-Energy Plantation-an Overview, Leucaena, Acacias, Prosopis, Casuarina: Petro Crops-Petro-crops-an overview, Jojoba, Guayule, Euphorbias, Jatropha curcas; Energy Weeds-Weeds an overview, Water hyacinth, Sea farming; Organic Residues Organic residues-an overview, Ricchusk, Bagasse, Coconut residues; Solid Fuels; Briquetting of organic residues, Charwal production and utilisation; Liquid Fuels-Alcohol fuel, Vegetable oils; Gaseous Fuels-Biogas, Biomass gasification, Biological hydrogen: Biomass Conservation-Improved Chuihas; Special Topics Energy-food nexus, Bio-energy & environmental protection Bioenergy for rural industrialisation, Bioenergy information, Bioenergy education, Subject Index. Each Section is further sub-divided into various chapters. There are 35 chapters covering the various aspects of the whole field of bio energy. This publication is hoped to be useful to a variety of audience-policy planners and adminis trators, scientists, and technologists, consultants and activists.
