ABSTRACT

Biogas from biomass is potential as an alternative energy. 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 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, especially for remote rural areas.

Keywords: Biomass resources, Biogas application, Sustainable development, Environment.
