Received: 31 January 2024 / Accepted: 5 June 2024 / Published online: 17 July 2024 | Farhad Ali, Asadullah Dawood, Akbar Hussain, M Hisham Alnasir, Muhammad Asad Khan, Tehmeena Maryum Butt, Naveed Kausar Janjua, Anum Hamid
The article "Fueling the Future: Biomass Applications for Green and Sustainable Energy" by Farhad Ali et al. explores the potential of biomass as a key component in the transition to a more environmentally friendly energy future. The authors examine various conversion technologies, including thermal methods like combustion and gasification, and biochemical processes such as anaerobic digestion and biofuel production. They highlight the renewable nature of biomass, derived from organic sources like agricultural residues, forestry waste, and energy crops, and discuss its adaptability for energy, heat, and biofuel production. The socioeconomic and environmental impacts of biomass use, including greenhouse gas emissions, land use, and community effects, are also evaluated. To maximize the potential of biomass as a renewable energy source, the authors emphasize the need to understand the interactions between these factors and to address obstacles, ongoing research, and recent developments in effective biomass-based energy systems. The review underscores the importance of sustainable sourcing, carbon neutrality, and the integration of biomass into current energy infrastructure to ensure a cleaner and more sustainable energy environment.The article "Fueling the Future: Biomass Applications for Green and Sustainable Energy" by Farhad Ali et al. explores the potential of biomass as a key component in the transition to a more environmentally friendly energy future.
