1)Agricultural wastes will not be available if the basic crop is no longer grown. 2)Additional work is needed in areas such as harvesting methods. 3)Land used for energy crops maybe in demand for other purposes, such as faming, conservation, housing, resort or agricultural use. 4)Some Biomass conversion projects are from animal wastes and are relatively small and therefore are limited. 5)Research is needed to reduce the costs of production of Biomass based fuels. 6)Is in some cases is a major cause of pollution.
