An Overview of Biomass and Biogas for Energy Generation: Recent Development and Perspectives
نویسنده
چکیده
Biogas from biomass appears to have potential as an alternative energy source, biomass resources being available worldwide. This is an overview of some salient points and perspectives of biogas technology. The current literature is reviewed regarding the ecological, social, cultural and economic impacts of biogas technology. This article gives an overview of present and future use of biomass as an industrial feedstock for the production of fuels, chemicals and other materials. To be truly competitive in an open market situation, higher value products are required. Results suggest that biogas technology must be encouraged, promoted, invested in, implemented and demonstrated, especially in remote rural areas.

متن کاملEstimation and Modeling of Biogas Production in Rural Small Landfills (Case Study: Chaharmahaal and Bakhtiari and Yazd Rural Areas)
One of the main factors contributing to greenhouse gas emissions in the environment is the production of pollutant gases in landfills. Collecting the landfill gases (LFG) effectively reduces the emission of gasses from the landfill site. A precise collection system for LFG can create the potential for energy generation in addition to emissions reduction. However, in Iran, the implementation of ...
