Little or no oil. 80 million tons of rice husk a year, mostly silica. Some is burnt for energy, some returned to the soil, FWIW, and not easy to compost it. Sawdust, cane sugar pulp (ie bagasse?), energy, maybe ethanol, not biodiesel. I believe there are various projects in India utilising these by-products.
