In the present world of increasingly energy dependent, there is a vast scope of markets in the future, for devices to utilize a wide range of agricultural sources and organic wastes. The large amount of agricultural wastes available, annually could supply a significant part of the demand for low sulphur residual oil by utilizing conversion process based on high pressure carbon monoxide and water.The agricultural sector also may be expected to supply, via biomass conversion a significant share of future energy supplies. Biomass represent one very small aspect of the total amount of energy research being undertaken to-day. However there are particular advantages to using biomass as a fuel source. It is renewable resource that is replenished by free solar energy.The renewable resources can provide energy indefinitely with proper application of science, technology and management. Most of them are nonpolluting, aid in maintaining ecological balance and enhance natural beauty. Hope of the happier world lies in their development.In the present world of increasingly energy dependent, there is a vast scope of markets in the future, for devices to utilize a wide range of agricultural sources and organic wastes.
