Abstract: The recent crisis in Italian agriculture has forced operators to find new ways of deriving income from their activities. One of the most promising of these is the use of agricultural products and residues as an energy source. In particular, the exploitation of agricultural, industrial and forestry residues and by-products can be a definite advantage in the generation of electrical and thermal energy. This is due to the fact that these materials need to be disposed of and, therefore represent cost, and can be then transformed into an opportunity for revenue.
