Abstract
AbstractBioenergy is one of the major renewable sources of energy, originating from sunlight and produced via photosynthesis. It is one of the many different resources available to human beings for meeting their energy requirements. Bioenergy is one among different renewable sources of energy. It is derived from living organic materials known as biomass. Looking at the increasing energy demand in the country, bioenergy is a significant energy source for meeting future energy requirements. At the same time, it is an efficient and green source of energy, thereby helping curb the greenhouse gas emissions. Bioenergy can be utilized in a number of ways namely heat, electricity, or as biofuels, and can be obtained from varied sources ranging from agricultural crops to animal, human, and industrial wastes. Similarly, there are different technological options for producing bioenergy, depending on the type and source of biomass. This chapter will throw light on the benefits, challenges, and need of bioenergy as a source of sustainable renewable energy. Further, it will discuss the various technologies for biomass conversion like combustion, gasification, pyrolysis, and anaerobic digestion. Various possible uses of biofuels as sustainable renewable energy will also be thrown light on.KeywordsBioenergySustainable energyBiomass conversion technologiesSustainable energy
