| Abstract: |
| The limitation of fossil fuels resources and environmental impacts caused by burning of fossil fuels, have increased the importance of using renewable energies, including biomass energy. The present study was conducted to evaluate the potential of bioenergy production from irrigated cereal (wheat, barley, rice and maize) residue in Iran, for the 2021-2022 cropping year. The required data were collected from agricultural statistics and library sources. According to results, the amount of total residue and exploitable residue (dry matter) of irrigated cereal in Iran were, 17608750 and 3174903 tons, respectively, and the annual production potential of bioethanol and biogas from cereal residue were estimated, 1304.49 ML and 846.49 Mm3, respectively. The highest annual production potential of bioethanol and biogas from residue were assigned to wheat with the values of 724.31 ML and 452.7 Mm3, and the lowest values with the potential of 60.7 ML and 28.77 Mm3 were assigned to maize. The results showed that there is suitable potential for production of bioenergy from cereal residue in Iran. |
