Recent advances in biomass and biogas development and perspectives: bringing together geographical and sociological imaginations
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of Biological Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 9
Abstract
Biogas from biomass appears to have potentialas an alternative energy source, and biomass resources are available worldwide.This is an overview of some salient points and perspectives of biogastechnology. The current literature is reviewed regarding the ecological,social, cultural and economic impacts of biogas technology. This article givesan overview of present and future use of biomass as an industrial feedstock forthe production of fuels, chemicals and other materials. To be truly competitivein an open market situation, higher value products are required. Resultssuggest that biogas technology must be encouraged, promoted, invested in,implemented and demonstrated, especially in remote rural areas.
