Abstract
Punjab is an agro-rich state. Two crop cycles, namely Rabi and Kharif are followed. Of late, the farmers have been resorting to burning of stubble of the agro residue from wheat and rice. Although the government has put a ban, yet in the absence of economy of scale, the practice continues. This paper is an attempt to find out the agro residue-based mixture which can be a useful source of power generation for one agro-based industry—the paper industry. We have tried to gather information regarding the availability of different agro residues and have tried to project a mixture of residues which would be most efficient in terms of calorific value.
