| This study aims to seek for economic returns to recycling agricultural waste Assiut Governorate and estimate production energy for this waste. By using descriptive and quantitative analysis and conversion equations to get to know what this plant equal to agricultural and animal waste products. Through the Bulletin of Agricultural Economics at the Ministry of Agriculture, the Directorate of Agriculture, Assiut Governorate. In addition to research and scientific messages, which focused on the subject of study.

Converting this waste into clean energy, gives around 260 tons annually equivalent to petroleum. The production the study revealed that production of compost from plant waste around 260 thousand tons annually, net return economic around 305 million pounds annually. The production of feeds from plant waste is around 249 thousand tons annually, it is estimated around 623 million pounds annually. The production of mushrooms from plant waste is around 498 thousand tons annually, it is estimated around 7.5 billion pounds annually. The production of biogas from plant waste is around 146 thousand m3 annually, it gives around 87 thousand liters of kerosene daily. On the other hand, animal waste estimated around 8.8 thousand tons of wet waste. The production of biogas from animal waste is around 1.2 thousand m3 annually, it gives around 706 liters of kerosene daily. | ||||
