%X The pressure of population growth has been increasing in Nepal day by day.  The demand of food and fuel supply is also increasing at an alarming rate, which will further continue to increase in the days to come.  However, very limited sources of food and fuel are available in Nepal.  Even these limited sources are not exploited effectively and efficiently.  It is well realized that the conventional sources of fuel supply in Nepal are not sustainable.  It is, therefore imperative to properly conserve and utilize the conventional sources of energy.  Such sources of energy include fuel wood, agricultural residue and animal waste. Sustainable fuel wood supply from existing forest and other sources was estimated at 7.5 million tons for the year 1993.  Agricultural residues and animal waste production for that year was estimated at 11.0 million tons each (WECS, 1994).  These sources meet about 91 percent of total national energy consumption.
