Small scale and cottage industries, for handicrafts and other products.
New generation products as wood substitutes
Industrial products
Transportation industry- truck bodies, railway carriages etc.
Boards and furniture
Medicine
Paper and pulp industry
Long time source of biomass for industry
Fuel source- capable of generating 1000-6000 cal/g- for households and small industries is an age-old, continuing practice.
