Identifying, developing, and moving sustainable communities through application of bioenergy for energy or materials: Future perspective through energy efficiency

Abdeen Omer

The present review article makes an attempt to comprehensively
review various aspects 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. An attempt
has been made to review the current literature regarding the
ecological, social, cultural and economic impacts of biomass
technology. The environmental problems are increasing. Nevertheless,
some residues have negative effects and should be
treated to preserve a durable environment. Hence, sensibility
and legislative text to organise the treatments of industry activities
waste should be more reinforced. This study highlights the
energy problem and the possible saving that can be achieved
through the use of biomass sources energy. Also, this study
clarifies the background of the study, highlights the potential
energy saving that could be achieved through use of biomass
energy source and describes the objectives, approach and scope
of the theme. The purpose of this study, however, is to contribute
to the reduction of energy consumption in buildings,
industry, and agriculture and identify biomass as an environmental
friendly technology able to provide efficient utilisation
of energy in the buildings sector, promote using biomass technology
applications as an optimum means of heating and cooling.
Recent attempts to stimulate alternative energy sources for
heating and cooling of buildings has emphasised the utilisation
of the bio-energy from agricultural residues, industry wastes,
forestry and other renewable energy sources.
