Estimation for Potential of Agricultural Biomass Sources as Projections of Bio-Briquettes in Indian Context
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
This paper estimate the gross crop residue and surplus residue potential for all provinces of agricultural country and provide the estimation of their bioenergy potential. This study is interesting and meaningful. However the following small problems need to be addressed before publication.
1 Some key original data cannot simply cited by the homepage of official websitey, such as reference 1 and 3. More specific info need to be provided.
2 The text in Fig. 8 is not clear enough, please improve it.
3 The introduction of equations (1) to (3) is also not clear. Please add the specific introduce and related unit of each symbol for all equations.
4 Please unify all the table format.
5 Discussions are too simple. The authors need to provide deep consideration. For instance, how to collect and use these surplus crop? How much of these surplus crop have been used in reality? Are there any limitation of these applications?
