Potential of cereal-based agricultural residues available for bioenergy production.

ABSTRACT: This data article ranks 294 countries worldwide with more potential available, of cereal based agricultural residues for bioenergy production. Nine different cereal-based agricultural waste products (barley, wheat, millet, oat, rice, and rye straw, sorghum straw/stalk, and maize cob) are used. The tables and figures are grouped by the most prevalent Köppen-Geiger climate classification (tropical/megathermal, dry (desert and semi-arid), temperate/mesothermal, continental/microthermal), continent and region. The data was collected by the authors from FAO bioenergy and food security rapid appraisal tool (excel-based tools) that uses crop yields and production with 10 years (2005-2014) average annual production to estimate the residue yield (t/ha), by feedstock.
