Crop and agro-industrial residues have low bulk and energy density, and for these reasons cannot be transported far from production sites without some form of processing. Residues from large commercial farms and agro-industries can be converted to relatively high-quality and high-energy density fuels for use in the domestic, commercial and industrial sectors through a number of physical, biological and thermo-chemical conversion processes.
Cement factories can potentially use alternative fuels, including biomass and biomass residues, to heat their kilns. The substitution of fossil fuel by biomass and biomass residues qualifies, in principle, for CDM carbon crediting. Biomass can substitute for approximately 20% of process heat requirements without the need for major capital investment.
