Abstract –
The constant shortage of fuel attracted the attention of the various academics and governments to the issues of energy crisis and the use of biofuels. The twentieth century came with the attention of the people towards the use of biofuels. Some of the main reasons for the people shifting their interest to biofuels were the rising prices of oil, emission of the greenhouse gases and interest like rural development. Biomass fuels are organic materials produced in renewable manner.Two categories of biomass fuels, Woody fuels and Animal wastes. Cellulosic biomass may be derived from agricultural sources, such as crop residues and perennial energy grasses, as well as forest sources, such as forest residues and woody biomass. Crop residues mainly include corn stover, wheat straw, and rice straw. Biomass provides a clean, renewable energy source that could dramatically improve our environment, economy and energy security. Biomass energy generates far less air emissions than fossil fuels, reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills and decreases our reliance on foreign oil.
In this experiment sets of agricultural waste (Maize, wheat, Groundnut cover , millet and rice ) , anthracite coal and binder are taken with different proportion like ( 80%, 20% ) , ( 60% , 40% ) , ( 40% , 60% ) , ( 20% , 80% ) and tested its parameters like calorific value , Moisture contents , ash content , density and total solids . after that to check impacts on environment proximate analysis is done the parameters are tested like volatile matter , fixed carbon , Ash content and moisture content, and this all bio –pellets are fall in GPCB norms.
The final results is the set containts ( 80% , 20% Groundnut cover husk ) get higher calorific value and lower ash contents than other sets so this set is recommend for industries for bio-fuel to enhance the capacity.
