It is also called as non-woody biomass broadly includes agricultural residues, native plants, and non-wood plant fibers. Energy crops which come under nonwoody biomass, are specifically grown for their fuel value. These crops have good energy density, grow fast, require low nutrients and maintenance cost with maximum biomass yield. Usually, these are grown in barren lands with little irrigation and fertilizer investment, and therefore don’t interfere with the food plant cultivation. These include dry lignocellulosic woody and herbaceous energy crops (e.g. short rotation crop, miscanthus crop), oil energy crops and starch energy crops [50].
