*1.5. Route for Conversion*

At present, many technologies such as biochemical and thermochemical conversion techniques have been put in place for the proper utilization of agro-waste and beneficiation into valuable products. The biochemical conversion technique employs microbial consortia for the complete degradation of the agro-waste. On the other hand, the thermochemical conversion process usually requires the agro-waste with a minute amount of moisture content, which requires additional energy for drying.
