Abstract

Bioenergy is a consistent source for a country. Many developing countries fabricate its foundation for renewable energy. The eventual conception behind bioenergy is the nix shortage of raw materials. In many places, management of wastes especially the municipal waste is a toughest task due to the rapid increase of population; hence, it is very imperative to manage such wastes. Highly populated and the civilized country also have a critical situation to meet the essential needs like fossil fuels. In this case, the developing countries in joint venture with the advanced conversion technology raised up the bioenergy to fulfill the need of a country. Moreover, a country’s wealth is dependent on the capital productivity of such resources. Bioenergy also plays a vital role in the reduction of carbon emissions which is the need of the hour to minimize pollution and global warming. The increased bioenergy production has noteworthy impact on the sustainable development which raises the wealth of a nation.
