Abstract:

Based on the agricultural production statistics in 2006, an assessment of the amount and availability of agricultural residues in Mainland China has been carried out. The total quantities produced of agricultural residues (including crop residues and agroindustrial residues) in Mainland China are up to 800 million tons per annum. And more than 500 million tons of agricultural residues per annum are available for energy use in Mainland China. An attempt to describe the potential uses for energy of agricultural residues has also been made.
