Efficient Use of Cesspool and Biogas for Sustainable Energy Generation: Recent Development and Perspectives Efficient Use of Cesspool and Biogas for Sustainable Energy Generation: Recent Development and Perspectives

Abstract

Biogas from biomass appears to have potential as an alternative energy source, which is potentially rich in biomass resources. 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. However, to be truly competitive in an open market situation, higher value products are required. Results suggest that biogas technology must be encouraged, promoted, invested, implemented, and demonstrated, but especially in remote rural areas.
