Energy Potential From Agricultural Residues in Texas Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Fuel shortages, along with dramatic increases in the price of energy, have placed considerable emphasis on the development of new and competitive energy supplies. In irrigated regions, the increased price and threat of curtailed supplies of natural gas have serious economic implications for the farm firm [4, 13]. Agriculture has the potential of replacing part of the energy it uses in the form of agricultural residues. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the use of residues from crop production in Texas as a feasible energy source.
