ESTIMATION OF BIOMASS POTENTIAL IN THE HAU MY BAC B COMMUNE, CAI BE DISTRICT, TIEN GIANG PROVINCE

Abstract

All field survey data is analyzed for a material flow considering biomass use in the Hau My Bac B Commune, Cai Be District, Tien Giang Province. The statistical results show that the amount of biomass is significantly produced by three sources: crop residues, livestock waste, and domestic waste from which the percentages of biomass were ultilized by 17%, 39%, and 5%, respectively. The amount of crop residues is also estimated at the highest volume in total plant biomass where straw with the high calorie value and low-cost should be utilized as bioenergy.
