Generating Biogas to Achieve SustainableDevelopment of Waste Management

The growing trend of energy consumption has resulted in energy crisis in the world. In addition,widespread use of fossil fuel has caused emission of a large amount of pollutants, hence the globalenvironmental crisis. On the other hand, limited resources of fossil fuels, non-renewability of theseresources, price volatility of fossil resources, and protecting the environment against the pollutantshave brought about policies to change the energy carriers and moving toward clean fuels as a toppriority in many countries’ working plan around the word. Optimizing energy consumption, reformingit, managing waste of human activities, and protecting the environment are the main elements ofsustainable development. One of these options which leads to development and sustainability in thefield of energy, agriculture, and environment, is using the energy of biomass. During the recent years,a lot of attention has been drawn to biomass generation to supply the energy in the world, particularlyby the developed countries. This produced gas can be used to supply thermal energy, light, and also asa proper choice in internal combustion generators, microturbines, fuel cells, and also electricitygeneration. In this research, the importance of this biological energy source in supplying the requiredenergy, resolving the problems due to lack of proper management of swage collection and disposal inorder to reach sustainable development have been discussed.
