Abstract
In India energy security and exploring the production of valuable chemicals , which are otherwise mostly imported have become
imperative necessity The advantage of abundant availability of paddy and its straws, specifically the rice straw in India are taken as
an example to establish a perfect Bio-refinery . In these paper possibilities of production of chemicals and energy by Chemical, Biochemical
and Thermo chemical platforms are explored. Possible alternatives on the problems of stubble burning in some stares of
India are put forward. However, studies on the optimal design, and economic viability of each routes remain to be evaluated.
