Abstract
Agriculture residue is a promising resource of energy. It can be seen as a source of power production. In India, there is a huge amount of biomass available, but it cannot be used in proper ways, and with the help of GIS it can be customised. In the present paper, it is estimated that biomass reserves are available for power generation. The biomass produced by the surplus agricultural crops is reflected as a source of fuel for electricity generation. The data taken by satellite are useful for assessment of the areas with the help of satellite images taken in high resolution, which increases the preciseness of estimation. An agriculture cropland map with agricultural statistics has been analyzed in GIS to discover the agricultural straw potential for bioenergy generation. Due to unawareness about the benefits and uses of GIS, the modern farming sector bears a loss of huge bioenergy potential every year. To overcome the above mentioned challenges, the agricultural system needs a major shift from conventional farming to smart farming practices with the help of GIS. Agricultural waste is the best source for bioenergy production, and it can be used as biomass for meeting renewable energy goals in the country.
Highlights
Accepted: 4 February 2021GIS has been successful and is well known in several fields of study, such as resource conservation, ecosystem evaluation, analysis of habitats, planning of land use sites, environmental disaster monitoring, etc
GIS application is gaining a lot of attention, as it saves time
GIS application is used in agriculture where the leftover biomass residue on the agricultural field can be estismated
Summary
GIS has been successful and is well known in several fields of study, such as resource conservation, ecosystem evaluation, analysis of habitats, planning of land use sites, environmental disaster monitoring, etc. A broader application of the geo-spatial technique is most popular Agricultural leftovers such as rice straw must be accepted as a potential feedstock for bioenergy production. Biomass, which is known as the carbon-neutral source of renewable electricity, has several advantages: it could be stored and used for various purposes if required, depending on the needs, conversion technology and economic viability in terms of water, electricity saving and biogas processing. 64% of the rural population makes use of biomass as a cooking fuel [3] On another hand, it shows that agriculture residue is available in abundance and does not create any competetion with food to produce clean and renewable energy when used under suitable biomass conversion processes.
