“…Literature is replete with many attempts to estimate global and national production and use of residues, but with large variations. These include residues availability in the Philippines (Elauria et al, 2005), India (Reddy, 1994), Karnataka (Ramachandra et al, 2004), and selected Asian countries (Bhattacharya et al, 1999. Other related reports include Akinbami (2001), Akdeniz et al (2004), Jekayinfa andOmisakin (2005), andEl.…”

An assessment of the potential availability of selected residues from maize, cassava, millet, plantain, groundnuts, sorghum, oil palm, palm kernel, and cowpeas for possible conversion to renewable energy in Nigeria has been made. It is estimated that nearly 58 million tonnes of these residues were potentially available in the year 2004 with energy potential of about 20.8 million tonnes oil equivalents. The residue availability for 2010 is projected to be about 80 million tonnes. These residues, when converted to energetically usable forms, can substitute or complement the fossil energy sources in Nigeria by more than 80%.

“…According to the annual food statistics report for 2007 to 2010 (Agriculture and Food Agency, 2010), the annual planted area of rice and production paddies averaged 252,944 ha and 1,462,453 tons/y in Taiwan, respectively, during this period. The R SP value ranged from 1.0 to 4.3 depending on the rice variety (Elauria et al, 1999). For the most frequently planted varieties, the value of 1.11, as suggested by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), was used.…”

Rice straw open-field burning is practiced in many countries and has been proven to be a significant source of emissions during the harvest season. Current approaches to obtain the fraction of rice straw subject to open burning vary significantly, and can lead to incorrectly estimating air pollutant emissions. This study proposes a remote sensing approach by classifying high-resolution imagery taken by Formosat-2 (FS-2) to map burned areas of rice paddy fields during harvest season to provide visualized and accurate estimations. We requested FS-2 image acquisition over the Chianan Plain, which is the greatest rice-producing area of Taiwan, during 3 weeks following the harvesting of the fall crops in 2009. Simultaneously, a mobile team on the ground examined the state of the rice paddies when FS-2 was scheduled to take the images. Based on these data, a procedure that integrated a ground truth-based classification scheme, land use data, spectral signatures, and supervised decision rules was applied to identify burned sites. The results were verified using the field data, with an overall accuracy of 87% for distinguishing among the 6 cover types of rice paddies, showing that 27.3% of the paddies within the study area were openly burned. Based on the mapping results, a comprehensive inventory of the air pollutant emissions from straw open burning in Taiwan is presented. To facilitate the management of emission sources and to improve local air quality, we encourage the use of FS-2 imaging to monitor the open burning of rice straw.

“…The field measurements showed that the average fresh cattle manure production was 19 kg head-1 day-1, and its recoverable fraction was 0.8. The recoverable fraction was high compared to the literature for other countries, such as 0.6 for China and India [17], [18], 0.8 for Thailand [19] and 0.5 for the Philippines [20]. The higher value is because Afghanistan does not have grazing areas for cow feeding, so they are always farmed in selected small areas, making it easier to collect the manure also for the purpose of using it in the form of fertilizer.…”

Biomass plays a major role in satisfying the energy needs of Afghanistan, especially in the residential sector where fuel demand is primarily met in the form of fuelwood, charcoal, crop residues and animal manure. Till now, enough work has not been undertaken to assess the biomass energy potential in the country to support renewable energy development plans and more sustainable use of biomass resources. This paper is limited to the assessment of biomass energy potential from the following resources: (A) forest fuelwood and charcoal, (B) crop residues (wheat, rice, barley and maize residues) and (C) cattle manure for the years 2012-13 and 2013-14. The study assesses a total biomass energy potential of 97,310 TJ during the period 2012-13 and 99,012 TJ during the period 2013-14. It is observed that only about 52% of the estimated biomass energy potential is being exploited. The estimated energy potential of the selected biomass could contribute up to 69% in the primary energy consumption of Afghanistan (140,966 TJ) during the year 2012-13.
