Abstract

The 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.
