Abstract

This communication discusses a comprehensive review of biomass energy sources, environment, and sustainable development. This includes all the biomass energy technologies, energy efficiency systems, energy conservation scenarios, energy savings, and other mitigation measures necessary to reduce emissions globally. This study highlights the energy problem and the possible savings that can be achieved through the use of biomass energy sources. Also, this study clarifies the background of the study and highlights the potential energy saving that could be achieved. The use of biomass energy sources describes the objectives, approach, and scope of the theme. However, to be truly competitive in an open market situation, higher-value products are required. Results suggest that biomass technology must be encouraged, promoted, invested in, implemented, and demonstrated as a whole, especially in remote rural areas.
